Finally. Everett is sleeping (mostly) through the night! And finally, I'm feeling human again. When Everett was first born he was a pretty good sleeper. I regularly got 6-7 hours sleep all in a row (much different than 6-7 hours in 1-2 and 3 hour increments). This was a much welcomed gift to a new mommy.
Something happened when he was 3 months old. He decided that sleep was optional and was up every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. All night. Every night. I was a tired zombie all the time. This routine lasted until about one week ago. He started sleeping for a solid 7-8 hours! I feed him and he sleeps again for another 2 hours. Sweet Jesus, hallelujah! I can handle THIS schedule! I do hope it is his new schedule and not just a fluke.
Look what else I noticed this week: This is the top of my head. See that fuzz sticking up everywhere?? My hair has started growing back! Finally! A couple of months ago my hair was falling out in massive amounts. My hair is very thin already, so this was an extreme worry for me. I was getting scared it wouldn't stop. Thank goodness it did. I'm gonna look funny for a while with fuzzy hair sticking up everywhere, but I it's better than looking funny because I'm bald.
Oh the JOYS of motherhood :) - Isn't it incredible what a difference a little sleep makes?
