Last Night . . .

We had a great night last night! Riley went to bed promptly at 7:00. He woke up several times throughout the night, but only for a minute or two and quickly soothed himself back to sleep. I did get up with him once at 5:00 AM. I had heard him wake up at 3:30 & 4:00 and again at 5:00, and I had convinced myself that he was probably hungry which was why he kept waking up. I nursed him and had him back to sleep by 5:15 and then he didn't get up for the day until 7:30.

For me, sleeping most of the night (from 10:00 until 5:00 and then again until 7:30) was Divine! I know I should have done this earlier, but I really wasn't ready until now. And it is a little embarrassing that I complained and complained about being so sleep deprived, but I was the one standing in the way of it the entire time. Oh, well, live and learn, I guess! Anyway, I am so happy and relieved that the process has been so painless.

Here's looking forward to a full night's sleep tonight for everyone. Happy Mother's Day to me!!
