Just wanted to update that Matthew had an AMAZING night last night and slept all the way through!!!!!!!

I wont get used to it, as hes done it here and there before. Just wanted to let you mamas know that it IS possible for high strung babies. maybe not regularly, but it happens sometimes.

That's great Mama! We've never had one of those before.. well, he slept 6 hours once, at 4 months old after a HORRIBLE Christmas (overstimulation, no naps, screaming all day)... other than that we're lucky to get more than 2 hours at a time... but, hopefully that will all change soon!

Coming in late, but congrats on getting some sleep! I can't imagine getting up and going to work with things the way they are now - you must be exhausted! You are one tough mama!

Meadow is a super-easy, not high-needs baby, but she still wakes up about 3 times a night. I have no idea why! Sometimes she needs to nurse, sometimes I can just pat her back to sleep, and sometimes she is just wide awake and wants to play (argh!). I don't think 3 times is all that bad at this age, but it's so hard because I fully wake up when she does, and I'm having a harder time going back to sleep lately...I dream of the day I get a full night of sleep!

Lady Catherine - congratulations! You are a much braver woman than I - I couldn't deal with the exhaustion of pregnancy plus a wakeful toddler right now!!
