Six Hours

Six consecutive hours. That's how much sleep I got last night. Or should I say, how long the peanut slept for. I can't even begin to tell you the last time I got six hours of sleep! Even when I was pregnant I didn't sleep that long consecutively. I woke up at 3:30 and checked on her just to make sure she was okay.

We're settling into a night time routine which I think is helping with the long stretches. A bath, a bottle, a book, a swaddle and then bed. Last night I topped her off with another ounce right before I put her down and I think that aided too. Regardless, I'm not getting my hopes up for a repeat tonight but it sure would be nice. Especially considering two nights ago we were up from 2:30 to 5:00am. I was praying to see eyelids for the longest time. Eventually, I just laid her down and she fell asleep.

She is getting so big! As cliche as that sounds, it's true. She hardly fits into the bassinet anymore and is already outgrowing her newborn clothes. I've seen a couple of real smiles and she imitates easy face expressions. Her own facial expressions are priceless.

She loves the car and the stroller and is always happy to be moving. Although, she will let me lay her down from time to time which is nice, she doesn't constantly need to be held.

I can't wait to see what next week brings!
