Success!!

Last night all four of us slept a full nights sleep! Well, except for about 3 bathroom breaks by me.. but not a peep from Cole! Hopefully I haven't spoken too soon! 2 nights wasn't bad! Good thing our new habits only happened for about 2 or 3 weeks! I've heard of many "ferberizing" that lasted quite awhile.. not only in days it took, but as well as the number of hours of crying. No fun..

I don't necessarily believe or I should say we've never had to go through the steps of ferberizing a baby from night time awakenings. Thankfully Rob is great and by the time the kids were 8 months old we decided they didn't need the night-time feedings so Rob would go in as comfort so I wouldn't be there as a tease with the milk-supply. They soon learned that Daddy had nothing for them as far as food goes and both boys began sleeping through the night within weeks with no tears involved. Hopefully it'll be that easy with new baby!

You can send Rob over here next, ok? ;)

Congrats! Enjoy the sleep while you still can. :)

Sarah. Up at 4:30. Not just up. Totally awake and ready to play. Usually she's up for 5 minutes and goes back to sleep. Maybe it's sympathetic reaction to Cole's getting up? Cousin power?
