The most amazing thing has occurred. For two nights in a row, Sawyer has slept for six hours straight! Without waking up for a feeding! And without waking me up at all! I can't even describe how good I felt this morning after having that much uninterrupted sleep. In my former life, six hours would have been a terrible night and I would have been grumpy for the rest of the day, but now that same amount of sleep is like manna from heaven. I'm not counting on this becoming a regular occurrence yet since he's still so little, but I'll take what I can get!
On the down side, I have to go to my doctor to get checked out tomorrow. After tapering off last week, my postpartum bleeding has returned (I know, ew) and it's a lot heavier than it should be (double ew). The nurse I spoke to on the phone today said she thought either I have been overexerting myself, or my period has already come back. Good heavens. I hope it's the former, because having Aunt Flo show up again this early when I'm exclusively breastfeeding would be too depressing for words.

That's great that Sawyer is sleeping so well. That sucks that Aunt Flo is back. Aunt Flo is my nemesis!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the fun in nursing if you have to endure periods at the same time? That stinks, but if you want your kids 10 months apart, then you've got it made :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like our boys are on the same track! Parker has been sleeping for 6 straight hours too! Isn't it great?
