"sleeping through the night"....what in the heck does that mean? one book says one thing. one person has another interpretation. as with everything "baby", new mommies get mixed messages about anything & everything.
the twins have recently had their first attempt at achieving this goal during the past week. last wednesday night, they surprised mommy by making it through the night without the dreaded 3-4 a.m. feeding. i was shocked. while getting up to pop in a paci or "soothe" occurred, minnie and tully got themselves back to sleep without realizing that they might be a wee-bit hungry. so.....does that mean i can pride myself on saying they are "sleeping through the night" or not?
well....9 days later, i feel like i am pretty close to it! they have made it night after night without nursing. while i have still gotten up multiple times, the stretch of uninterrupted sleep has lengthened and what a joy it is! they are going down easier after their 10 o'clock nursing time. they are sleeping longer (even taking the recent time change into account). these 2 positives are HUGE in the land of mommy hood! as all of you mommies know, sleep is literally priceless these days to ALL in the parsley household!
in honor of our recent accomplishment, i chose to share some pictures that prove it:) now don't think for a minute that all we do IS sleep around here. looks can be deceiving!
