goals

As the mom of a newborn and a toddler, one of the milestones I was most looking forward to was that of Sleeping Through the Night. Noah has been a pretty good sleeper all along, which has saved my sanity, but even five hours in a row just wasn't cutting it anymore. We would sleep those five hours, then Noah would decide that eating every two hours was a much better plan. Suddenly, however, my child slept seven hours straight. And then went back to five. (I was not a fan.) I would attempt to reenact everything I did on the Night of Seven Hours of Sleep, and it would work. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't, but all I know is that the last four days I have slept from 9:30 until about 6. So I will not be changing anything anytime soon. (Except that I'm working on potty training said toddler, so I'm sure I'll have exactly 2.5 weeks of good sleep, and then I'll be woken up again. Sigh.)

OH! 9:30-6!? Heaven! Sam (14 weeks now) was sleeping 5 hrs in a row before we traveled home for the holidays. Now he's back to 2-3 hr chunks. (BIG sigh!)
