10 hours!!!!!

Here I was worried that I wouldn't have anything to blog about and I keep thinking of things! But, as I predicted, they are about my kids so far! :)

I just had to share some exciting news! Gavin, my 2 1/2 month-old son, slept 10 hours straight last night!!! I still can't believe it! I gave him his bath early last night and he fell asleep at 8:00. I figured he was not out for the night and would want to nurse again a few hours later. I ended up going to bed around 11:00 (which is pretty early for me!) and jolted awake at 5:30am, realizing that 1.)we had not been up in the night, 2.)Gavin hadn't made a peep, and 3.) amazingly - I had slept the ENTIRE time! I don't know how I slept because I had so much milk stored up that I think I lost 5-6 pounds after he nursed!!! Gavin never actually woke up until 6:00 and I was so happy to see his beautiful blue eyes! (I was also glad for the relief he provided my milk jugs that were about to explode!!)

I am very thankful for a great night of sleep. It is funny how babies help us to appreciate the things we took for granted. I feel like a new woman - now, what can I bake with Austin?? :)
