Two Nights in a Row

It happened again! Violet slept all night!!! This time I didn't wake up and have to go check on her. I actually slept too. I'm still not holding my breath that this is going to continue. My other two didn't sleep through the night until they were 3 (that's years, not months)! A mother can hope.

Halleluia!

Violet slept through the night for the first time in her life! She is 14 1/2 months old, in case you were wondering. She slept from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.!!! I can't believe it. I'm sure it was a fluke but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that it wasn't. For the record, the longest stretch she had ever slept before was 6.5 hours.

I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and panicked because she hadn't woken up yet. Of course I had to immediately go and check to see that she was breathing. She was. I went back to bed and couldn't fall back to sleep. It figures. I finally started to drift off right about the time she woke up at 6 a.m.

Oh I so hope this is the beginning of a new trend! I haven't slept properly in 9 years. I'm exhausted.

Poop happens!

Life as a mom is never dull! Poor Violet was having some tummy troubles but thankfully, they have resolved. She was constipated for almost a week. Yesterday, I had to break out the suppositories! That was fun! But it worked. Then she had a blowout this morning. She slept for 6.5 hours last night (the longest stretch ever since she was born) and now this morning, she has been asleep for over 2 hours. She must have been absolutely miserable. Poor baby.

I am sitting here bracing for the ice storm that is supposedly heading our way. There are a few flakes flying outside my window right now. I am going to pick Jonah up from school early so we don't get stuck in the mess. He will not be happy. I hope Michael leaves work early too but I doubt it now that he is the "Big Boss Man!"

Violet's awake!
