Sleep, Glorious Sleep

I know that this is pretty much the only topic I write about, but it's huge! Last time I posted, we were on a schedule that allowed me to get more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep. Wonderful. However, almost right after I said that, she changed again. Suddenly she was falling asleep nursing and staying asleep through the transfer to the crib and awaking every 3 hours for the rest of the night. I assumed she was hungry - and most of the time she was. But a few days ago she wasn't really hungry at 10 pm or 1 am; she only nursed for a few minutes and was quickly asleep. Hmmmmm, could she be ready to consolidate her night feedings? I hope I hope I hope I hope! So last night we let her cry at 11 pm. She cried for about half an hour before I decided to feed her. (See Nina's blog for doctor's appointment and development news.) It was late already and I'm having problems sleeping now too. :) I just can't seem to wind down. And - funny story - I took a bath well before bed, nearly fell asleep a few times in the water but once I was in bed I was awake! Well, she's finally asleep again (cried for 45 minutes tonight). Maybe she will sleep a little harder this stretch. Here's hoping!
