Sleeping Through the Night(!), And Where We Are With Sleeping Arrangements

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!

Hope you all have a fun weekend planned. We're having a family reunion...the twins' "coming out party," as my mother says. So excited!

I've been single parenting it over here, as my husband is away for three days interviewing. (Although I'm spending most of the time at my mom and dad's, so it's not like I'm really going it alone.) I AM spending the nights alone at our house, though, and last night, Luke slept from 10:30 PM to 6 AM! Through the night! Hallelujah! And Zoey slept an 8-hour stretch earlier in the week for my husband...granted, it was 5 PM to 1 AM, but still...

I've been taking the babies to bed with me sometimes in the middle of the night, and that seems to work great. (My husband's been napping with them, too.) We've been reluctant to have them in the bed for safety reasons (we don't want to roll over on them accidentally and smother them), but now that we've been doing it a little, it doesn't feel unsafe. And they're happy, I'm happy, everyone gets more sleep, nursing them is so easy and nice (I don't even have to sit up), vs getting up bleary-eyed and feeding them bottles, which is not nearly as nice...

We'll see how the whole sleeping arrangements thing shakes out...still too soon to tell. But, anyway, I am soooooooo encouraged by the fact that they're sleeping longer stretches. Turns out these babies are not going to be the only ones in the history of babies who don't sleep through the night. :)

Thanks for spending some time here this week. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. 

XOXO
