sleep

Palmer did a great job sleeping last night! He ate around 10:30, went to bed at 11, and slept til 3!!! After eating he went back to sleep around 4:00 and slept til 7:00. I think I was able to get about 6 hours! Despite getting up in the middle of the night I feel so much more rested. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction! Fussy McCriesalot has been quite a pill during the day but if he's going to sleep so much at night I'll definitely take that deal! Oops, mister crankypants is demanding attention- gotta go. . .

UPDATE:

An even better night Thursday night! I think he must have been pooped from shopping earlier in the day, fussing in the afternoon, and crying at the restaurant while Tyler and I had dinner. He got a bath around 9, ate at 9:45, and went to sleep at 10:30! I thought for sure he would be up soon, so I read my book for a little while, but he was still down at 11 so I went to sleep too. Fast forward to 4 am when I wake up in PAIN because he hadn't nursed in 6 hours! I got up and pumped a couple ounces for some relief and went to sit in bed with my lamp on because SURELY he would wake up soon, right? Nope- slept til 6! Don't get me wrong- I'm very happy with this new development, but will my body eventually adjust? If you've breastfed you can relate- it gets painful, uncomfortable, and messy when they go too long between feedings. I'll be up at 3 or 4 to pump if he doesn't wake up to eat, so it's not much more restful than feeding him in the middle of the night. We'll see how things go tonight!
