Something amazing happened!

Max slept through the night!  YAY!


I, of course, did not.  My boobs woke me up at four in the morning and I panicked.  I hopped up and immediately began unswaddling the baby in his cradle, sure he was dead.  He wasn't.  But he was annoyed.  I wrapped him back up and he fell asleep for another hour.  At five he got up on his own, nursed then fell asleep again.  He's still asleep now.  But of course Alex is up, so I'm up for good.


I shouldn't have been surprised.  Max's eight week birthday is today.  Alex was sleeping through the night at seven weeks.  But Max hasn't shown any signs that he was about to start sleeping through the night.  He's been getting up two to five times a night, and I fully expected that to continue.  It still might.  I think it is too much to hope I'll be regularly getting six hour stretches of sleep at night this early on a regular basis.  But, you never know!
