Glorious Sleep!

We've been very fortunate that Josiah never really had his days & nights mixed up. He knows that night-time is for sleeping...even if it was in short increments. Until this week, he'd eat, sleep about 3-4 hours, eat, sleep 2-3 hours, eat and then sleep another 1-2 hours. So about 8-9 hours total... but it does still wear on you when you haven't slept more than 4 hours straight in 10 weeks!

We had a breakthrough this week! I increased the amount he was eating at each daytime feeding by 1 oz. and Wednesday night he slept for 7 1/2 hours straight! And then went back to sleep for another 2 1/2 hours right after that! Woohoo!! Of course, I didn't benefit quite yet since my body was still used to waking up sooner... I had to check to make sure he was okay several times! Last night wasn't quite as long, but he did 5 hours, 2 1/2 & then 2... still an improvement!

Oh and did I mention that he is also now sleeping in his crib in the nursery?! (As opposed to the pack-n-play bassinet in our bedroom.) We're hoping this new sleep extension is here to stay!

He definitely doesn't like to fall asleep. Most naptimes start with a fight, but we're learning to just press through it and he's usually asleep within 5-10 minutes. Now if we could just get Shelby to quit barking and waking him up, we'd be in great shape. Anyone want a free Papillon?? :)
