Just so this is noted on here and I'm majorly excited about the whole ordeal...Braylea slept from 9:30pm last night until 8am this morning..no feedings, no nothing..in her crib, in her room! I heard her whining about 1am and let her just talk herself back to sleep and it worked, surprisingly. This is so crazy from her waking up every two hours the past few weeks to this! All I know that I did different is I gave her a little more cereal and made it a little thicker and she ate the whole bowl plus nursed for awhile before falling asleep.
Now, did Mom get more sleep?? No! I think less. I woke up every two hours wondering if she was okay. I would lay there wide awake trying to talk myself out of going to check on her, then realized I'm wasting more time thinking about it then just getting my butt up and going in there. I hope that worry part goes away eventually. It was weird having her next to me for the past 5 months and then not having her there all of a sudden. She is growing up and doesn't need me!! Ha
We will see if it lasts..

Congrats! Once you start actually sleeping also, you will find you have so much more energy!Then it really is hard when they have slept for weeks at a time all night and then for some unknown reason they start waking up again.
That's awesome Stacie!! Hopefully she'll keep it up! ;)
