Olivia was put to bed at around 10pm last night and John's alarm went off this morning at 5am (for his morning run, mr-overachieving-man). I have never been so happy to wake up at 5am as I was this morning! Olivia had slept through the night! The joy that is in my heart cannot be expressed in words and the accumulation of milk that was in my rock-solid boobs had to be expressed ASAP!
It's amazing how she has developed over these past few days. I guess there were signs that this was all to happen shortly: She started talking ("agoo", for the most part) up a storm yesterday. Plus, I am filling one 5-oz bottle now with the boob juice, and that got me 5 hours between feedings the night before last, but LAST night...oh LAST NIGHT....!
What to Expect the First Year has a list in the beginning of each chapter (by month) and it lists all of the things that "may" occur during each month of life and Olivia is meeting most of her targets! I am so amazed at how they develop, without training, right on schedule. I am still trying to get her to turn her head at the sound of my voice, but that is not yet to be. Hey, as far as I care, she can take a break...sleeping through the night ranks on the top of MY list ;-)
Now I have to go adore my little sleep champion!
