Big Milestone!

Sean slept through the night last night! Needless to say, Mom and Dad are ecstatic! I guess the next few days will tell if this was a fluke (he was exhausted beyond belief from hardly napping Friday and Saturday) or the beginning of a trend (PLEASE let it be the beginning of a trend!!!).

He got his last night time feeding around 10:30, and at 5:30 I woke up to a puddle of milk and a still silent baby monitor. Being the excessively paranoid and worried mom that I am, I immediately ran downstairs to make sure he was still alive, because 7 hours of sleep seemed too much to hope for! But, he was sleeping away, as peaceful as ever. So I just went back to bed. At 7:30, I went down stairs to give him breakfast (my boobs felt like they were about to explode at this point), and he was still sleeping. But, I woke him up anyway.

We're working on getting him on a pretty rigid schedule so it will be less of a shock to him (and Bryan and I) when I return to work in a few weeks. So, from now on, there will be no futzing around with feeding times and nap times. Hopefully, by the time I'm heading back to work, we'll have all the kinks worked out of his schedule, and he'll be regularly sleeping through the night!
