No More Disco Fever

Up, down, up down - the disco dance of nighttime nursing seems to have come to an end. Miles Avery has consistently been sleeping through the night this week. He's ten weeks old today, so he's on schedule. You never realize how much sleep you do and don't need until you have a newborn baby to care for. I like to sleep - I never pulled an "all-nighter" to study in college. Waking up several times during the night to feed a tiny infant is challenging, but you get up the next morning and function fairly normally - which amazes me. And now that we're getting a full night of uninterrupted sleep, we get up and still function fairly normally. Amazing!

i don't think i ever function normally the next day after interrupted sleep. that is why i don't like the newborn stage very much! i can't believe you never pulled an all nighter in college. i did it a few times and it was NOT fun. anyway....yay for miles...and for you!!!
