YAY!
Everyone's first question is always...are you getting enough sleep? Well, the answer is probably not, but my body has adjusted and is used to waking up every 3 hours for a feed. Everyone's next question is...are you able to nap? Well, I could but I have other things I need to do. Shower, eat, clean, iron, laundry, etc. It's not easy to just "nap" when getting 15 or 20 minutes here or there makes me more tired. It's more relaxing to me to just sit on the couch and watch some TV!
So getting up every 3 hours in the middle of the night has been my routine for the past 42 days...until last night. Little Miss Alexis slept from 11pm until 4:45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up in a panic at 4am and ran in to check to make sure she was breathing. I came back to bed and couldn't go back to sleep because I was wondering when she was going to get up. After her feeding she was awake so I held her until about 5:30 when I was about to fall back asleep. I put her back in her crib to play alone and she put her own self back to sleep (HUGE!) and slept until 8am!
I'm sure it was just a fluke and she'll return back to her normal routine but it was great to get some good REM sleep!
