When Connor was born and my house was full of family, I used to look forward to those middle of the night feedings when it was just me and him. Those moments were so special. Over the past two months, those "special moments" turned into.... "when will he ever sleep through the night??"
For the past two weeks or so he has been sleeping through the night. Well, he goes down about 7:30ish and then Joey wakes him up for a late feeding around 10/10:30 and he sleeps until about 5 or 6. Since I am not currently working Joey has also been getting up with him for the early morning feedings since I have him all day and he has to be at work early anyway. This morning Joey left for his first overnight business trip since C was born and tonight I had to give him his late bottle. Connor holds his hands or holds your hands while he eating and tonight he wanted to hold mine...I love these moments and they are already changing and I am already taking them for granted. My sweet baby boy is growing up everyday and I know I will miss our quiet times with all my heart.
Allie has been sleeping thru the night since around the 6/8 week mark too. It's so nice to get a full night sleep but I know what you mean about "the quiet time". With two other kids in the house we don't get that too often.
ReplyDeleteAnd poor Allie has already had to learn to put herself to sleep b/c she was always ready for nap at the same time Jake needed to potty or wanted juice or whatever. So I'd lay her down to run tend to Jake and she'd be asleep when I got back. Now, she prefers it that way. The past two nights she has fallen asleep while nursing right before bed so I've been able to cuddle for a bit. It's so sweet.
Don't take any moment for granted, because soon he'll be as tall as you and about to turn 13 (like my Austin will in just a few weeks!).
Take care!
