i hestitate to say . . .
the boy has slept THROUGH the night for a total of 4 nights!!!
oh goodness - life is good.
and it only took a little over a year. 365+ days of sleeping no more than 4-5 hours at one time. but now, down by 7:30 & sleeps until 8. did i mention it's only been a year?
he has also weaned himself from breastfeeding (could be little sibling taking up all the nutrients) and he has taken himself off pureed baby food. and all this time i thought we were in charge. :) he has adapted to an unbelievable schedule - taking two 1.5 hour naps each day. how sweet it is. and it only took a year.
and now - here we are are. pregnant again. as if i thought i had the whole motherhood thing down pat -
what the hell are we thinking?
please tell me the second one sleeps through the night by 3 months, changes his own diaper and orders from the 'kid menu' from the get-go.
it's overwhelming. i wonder if i'm 'equiped'. and as hard is it is to accept the facts - i pray for this baby. healthy, full-term. and i pray for my baby that is here now. may i have the time, energy and love for two. may i be 'enough.'
and the worst part - i remember labor. i mean i remember.
it's only been a year.

holy cow. those are some seriously weighty statistics compared to the last time we saw you guys in seattle. that's insane.
blessings, big huge blessings on your full nights' rest. praise the gods of sleep.
Oh wow - congratulations on the pregnancy. I need to start thinking about the second one too - I read somewhere that the ideal age ga is between 18 months and 36 months.
