restful night

Unless I am much mistaken, I think we may have finally turned a corner in the sleep department. It's now been 6 weeks and I think GT may finally be ready to sleep more at night instead of all day. Of course, last night could just have been a fluke, but I have hope! He only took one nap yesterday, and when bedtime rolled around he fell asleep quickly in my arms. I put him to bed, sure that he would instantly start fussing again but no! He stayed alseep and didn't wake up for another feeding until 5 hours later. After that feeding I was able to put him right back down, and I got another 4 hours out of him. I am quite happy with all this sleep and don't really know what to do with myself. After a good pilates session with friends, I think all I need to make this morning perfect is a small cup of coffee.

In other updates, GT is now over 9 lbs and is 21 3/4 inches long! He's grown out of nearly all his newborn clothes. I can't believe how big he's gotten. It is slightly sad to think that, someday soon, he won't be much of a 'baby' anymore. They grow up so fast. I'm just going to try to soak up as much of this time as I can.
