Sleep Well
I've hesitated to post this, in fear of jinxing it. However, I think we're in the clear...
2 weeks ago, Luci started sleeping through the night. She started on vacation (amazingly enough) and surprised us all by keeping it up once we got home.
I am fully aware that I'm extremely lucky in this regard. Cohen started sleeping through the night (6pm-6am) when he was 2 months old, and though we had some issues when he was a toddler, he's been pretty consistent. Lili, well, she slept through the night from the day she was born, and we've never had a single problem. The girl loves her sleep, plain and simple.
We were certain that we'd end up with a terrible sleeper this time around. As it is, after the first few weeks, she only really got up once or twice, and only for 10 minutes. I thought that was pretty lucky. But now...
She goes to bed at 8:30, and sometimes I'll wake her at 11 before I go to bed, but lately, not so much. Either way she sleeps until 6am, and even then, if I feed her and snuggle her, she'll go back to sleep until 8:30. Of course, now that school is starting, I actually have to get up at 6. But it's nice to know I have the option!
Regardless, I'm extremely grateful. Getting a full night of sleep does incredible things for the soul.
Next step - putting her in the crib, rather than the cradle. I'm reluctant to give up on having her so close to me though, so I might wait until she's 4 months, which is how old the other two were.
Nighty night!

God, honestly, we are going through another period where Kai isn't sleeping through the night... (Teeth) and he NEVER slept through the night as a baby. You must have a magic touch.
BTW. Not sure about the school/mat leave thing. I checked too at some point, couldn't find anything, and then didn't worry because my course only overlapped my mat leave by two weeks...
N.
Honestly, I think they've just all inherited Ian's sleep gene - the man could (and would) sleep for 20 hours per day if he could get away with it.
As for the mat leave - technically they said I'm can't go to school, but since I'm planning on doing online courses (through Athabasca, thanks!) for now, they are turning a blind eye...
Harry isn't consistent with sleep at all, although I'm starting to notice that he sleeps much better at night if he has good naps during the day. And since he had two AWESOME naps today (2 hrs. 40 min---WOW--and 1 hr. 40 min--still longer than usual!), I'm hoping for a great night!
Ya, Andreas has that sleeping gene too. We all go to bed at the same time and Andreas is ALWAYS asleep before Kai. ALWAYS. I keep hoping that this gene will kick in on Kai!
I'm glad that Athabasca is going to work out... My friend "went" there and loved it.
