SO Proud!!

Today is a beautiful, glorious, momentous day!!

One for the record books, hence why I'm dedicating a blog to it.

Because today....well....last night...

she did it...it happened...

SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!

Hooooorrraaaayyy!

Can you tell I'm just a tiny bit excited about this?

Scarlett is almost 6 months old and has been

waking up every 2-3 hours for nearly her whole life.

It's been exhausting, to say the least.

She fell asleep at 10:00 last night

and I woke up at 5 in the morning wondering

if I was so out of it that I fed her and didn't remember.

It's quite possible, but I don't think that was the case.

My body wasn't used to going so long without feeding her,

so rather than enjoying the extra sleep I had to wake up to pump.

When I got back in bed and turned on the monitor,

I about screamed when I saw her wide glowing eyes staring straight

into the camera.

She was wide awake and flailing around.  I figured she

would for sure start crying since it'd been so long since she ate,

so I just stayed awake waiting for her to make some noise.

But after about a half hour of wiggling around,

she fell back asleep!!

And she slept until 9:00 in the morning!!!

I seriously couldn't believe it, I thought it was too good to be true.

I never thought I would be SO excited and proud about

something like this...

but after six months and feeling like it was NEVER going to happen,

I am one proud and rested mama :)

Hopefully it will become a more regular thing!!!
