And In The Tenth Month...He Slept!

You know what the one thing I've been craving ever since Grayson was born is? You said beer right? I know that's what you were thinking, but WRONG.....I've been craving SLEEP. You know, that thing where you lay your head on a nice soft pillow, in your nice, soft bed with some warm covers pulled up under your chin and you just pass right on out. Man, do I ever miss sleep.

Well, for the past two glorious days, I've gotten just that. Grayson has taken to sleeping through the night!! YES!! I usually stay awake until he wakes for his night feeding at about 11:30PM or 12AM. Then I go to sleep, where I pass out and am awoken between the hours of 4 and 5 for another feeding. I go back to sleep, and am awoken by an alarm reminding me that, no, it is no longer summer. I need to get up and make sure Ethan is ready for school and he isn't trying to sneak out the door sweater free with grungy hair and dirty teeth.

So, on Friday, I'm waiting for Grayson's mama to ring out, and I realize that, "Hey, it's almost 1am, and there's been no cry." I quietly sneak in to look over him and he is fast asleep. In fact, he's flipped over to his tummy, stuck his tush up in the air and is happily sucking on his little fist and snoring. I drag myself to bed, where I promptly fall asleep and am awoke at 6:45AM by his mama. On Saturday, I put him to bed and lie down myself at 10PM. I lie awake for some time waiting for his cry, but it never comes, and I fall asleep, and am awoken at 7:30AM by the cry of mama and giggles. I go in to find him happily playing with his feet. Is this the beginning of overnight sleep for me again? Do I no longer have to stumble around rubbing sleep out of my eyes? I am very excited about this possibility. VERY excited. Just in case you didn't catch that, that was VERY excited.

Now, I'm off to sleep.

Also, now that I've written this post, I bet he'll wake up. Only one way to find out. GOOD NIGHT!
