Sleep I so don't need anymore....


So apparently, my son missed the "babies never sleep" train when he was born. All throughout the pregnancy friends, family all talked about how we'd be soooo tired, and sleep deprived and how stressful it is. We had friends that had a baby 3 months before us (and their child was colicky) telling us how hard it was, how much sleep they didn't get etc.

WELL... have i got something to tell you

Our son, our wonderful, beautiful, smart, son sleeps, he sleeps like a rock, he sleeps like a baby, he sleeps like every metaphor to sleeping everyone has ever made. Oh and if you think I'm kidding, keep reading.

The first few weeks of our son's life, he slept completely through the night. We would put him down at 11:30 or so and he would sleep until 5:30, 6am. Damn that's a good boy. After that it was down to 3 or 4 hour chunks. Asleep around 11 wake at 2 or 3 feed and back to sleep for the night. He always slept in our room, or in our bed. Well recently (he's 11 weeks tomorrow) we started putting him in his crib. Well one of the first nights we put him in his crib @ 11:30 at night and he slept through the night again, till 6:30. 7 Straight hours.

Oh and just cause I'm so proud of my son, last Saturday we all went to bed @ 9:30 he slept until 3am fed till4 and then slept again until 9am, almost 12 hours w/ a new born, can you believe that,

YAY SON
Daddy's little boy.
