Guess who had a really "good" night last night?!
This girl!
It came after a really "bad" night so Tom and I were very thankful and appreciative.
I didn't have very high hopes after it took a little over two hours to even GET her in her crib asleep, but once she was in her crib the night went like clock work. If nights can go like clock work for an infant. Ha. Having her in crib is a big deal in and of itself! We've tried crib, co-sleeper and mom's arms, and we're back to crib.
Here was her night on Wednesday (yes, I keep track just so I have somewhat of an idea how we're doing. Plus, someday I know I will totally laugh about doing this and I'm all about providing myself with a good laugh down the road):
crib - 10:12
10:50 - up
L - 10-12 minutes (I must have fallen asleep)
crib - 11:09
up right away/held
crib - 1:15
L - (nothing written down, which means I probably fell asleep again)
crib - 2:34
up right away
R - 3:45-3:55
crib - 3:05
up -3:36
crib - 3:46
up - 5:15
L - 5:15-6:05? (fell asleep)
crib - 6:10
Did you follow that? Because it makes me dizzy. And very tired.
And last night:
R - 6:46-7:04
crib - 9:08-11:35 (go Gwen!)
R - 11:40-11:50
crib - 11:54
up - 1:34
L - 1:33 - 1:42
crib - 1:47
up - 2:50
R - 3:23-3:34
R - 3:49 - 3:54
crib - 4:00
up - 5:52
R (not sure why I had her nurse on the R three times in a row - oops) - 5:55 - 6:14
crib - 6:17
up - 7:08
...and then it was pretty much in our bed until close to 9:00.
That is almost 2.5 hrs, 1.5 hrs, 1 hr, almost 2 hrs, 45 minutes and another 2-ish hours in bed. But who is counting.
All Tom and I have to say is thank.you.Jesus.
I wonder what tonight will bring? I can't wait to find out!
The joy of the Lord is my strength!

** UPDATE **
Gwen slept 3.5 hrs in her crib at one point last night (3/16)
It's a new record!!
She looks so much bigger already! Oh Sarah, this post makes me smile. And brings back memories. I think it was you and Tom that reminded me that I wrote down all of the details with Jacob too. She will start sleeping longer stretches. Promise! :) Maybe Gwen and Jake can have a play date sometime next week? I am getting over a cold that Jake and Scott so kindly shared with me so I want to be in the clear first but can't wait to see her (and you, of course) again!
