Good night

Our boy slept through last night.

High fives all round.  

He went from 11 until 6 this morning.  This was in his own bed without any fuss.  We realise this is his first time and he isn't always going to sleep through - tonight might be a whole different story - but it's a milestone.

My initial thought was great, Erin must have got to sleep through too.  It turns out that wasn't quite true.  She apparently woke at 4.  Then at 4:30.  At 5.  At 5:30.  All to see if he was still alive.  And she bolted upright when he started stirring at 6.

We know 6am isn't ideal and an extra hour would be better.  But tiny steps people.  And this feels like a giant leap.

That's a huge victory! You are so fortunate! I totally know how Erin feels, though, too...

Fantastic!

After a couple more nights like this, Erin will be getting more rest as well.

It's a natural occurrence you know, this need to be on constant vigilance over his every move.

Thumbs up on the "don't count your chickens before their hatched" attitude.

Baby steps make the world go round.

Congrats!
