..........a 7 week old that is sleeping through the night! Woo Hoo! I don't know quite how to act. I keep expecting him to stop sleeping through the night and for a week it was every other night, but he has been pretty consistent for the last few days! He is VERY needy at night. He nurses A LOT.... so I don't get much done from about 5 until bed time, but I guess its a good trade off! We usually get in bed anywhere from 9 to 11 and we sleep anywhere from 5 until 7. All I gotta say is that PRAYER WORKS! I remember a few months ago when my friend Dana told me that she was praying for Baby Bean to be a good sleeper! When she said that I kinda thought "Oh yeah! That would be a good idea!" HA! I hadn't even thought about a baby sleeping through the night or asking God to give me one of those! I had been praying for a healthy pregnancy. I had been praying to make it to the scheduled csection and to have a better recovery than the last two, etc. I had NOT been praying for a good sleeper! What a wonderful prayer and a fantastic friend to THINK of praying for a sleeping baby!!!
Nothing much else to report about the growth of our babe! He is a wonderful baby STILL. He is very alert. He is making baby coos and "talking". He still has his baby mohawk and has the bluest of blue eyes!
We don't have another doc appt until 2 months so we still have a few weeks. He is AT LEAST 9lbs and he is VERY long. I don't leave him on our ottoman anymore because when he stretches all the way out, his legs hang off the side. He is quite a wiggly guy and very active.
He is truly a wonderful and handsome baby. I look at him and just think "How can I never have another one of these?" I am ready to be done with babies and REALLY have no desire to have another csection, BUT the idea of never having another baby to kiss and cuddle and love and feed and snuggle with makes me a bit sad..... just don't know what our family size will be......

Um, my jaw just hit the floor.
That's amazing. God certainly has blessed you, and I am happy He has. :)
My 5 year old still doesn't sleep through the night. I need your friend to pray for my Best Girl!
I'm there with Lauren! I often hear little voices at night. My boys are 3 and 7 and they still wake me at night. Never mind the baby who still nurses at least twice! Maddie is my only sleeper. :-)
That's awesome! There is definitely something to be said about getting an uninterrupted night of sleep. Very refreshing. On the other hand, I am very jealous. Landon is still not totally sleeping through the night yet. He slept from 10 to 4:45 last night and had his last feeding at 8:30...so I know he can do it :)
Way to go...enjoy that while it lasts.
Yay for good sleepers (and friends who pray for them)! Can't wait to see him in a few weeks!
