Let Sleeping Babies Lie

Conrad's sleeping has been getting better!  He was only sort of okay the Tuesday night, then Wednesday we got up once to feed him but last night was stellar.  Conrad went to bed at about 7pm and woke close to 11.  I thought he might be hungry because he hadn't eaten very much of his bottle before he fell asleep but decided to try waiting and let him cry a little, he went back to sleep and so did I and he didn't wake up until 5am.  So he didn't eat once over the night and the crying is getting less.  At 5 Kris fed him and he went back to sleep until 7 when I had to get him to go to daycare.  I think we could reach a point where he sleeps through before too long if things keep up like this.  Of course somehow during the night he did completely spin around in the crib and was facing the other direction this morning, no really.  He can't even roll over yet but with his kicking while he fusses he moves about and I think he got to his favorite spot (face up to the little mirror in his crib) and then was able to push sideways and so on until he was the other way.  I'm not so sure he means to do this, but none the less he did.  He was a happy boy when I dropped him off this morning, good thing since his baby buddy at daycare was not happy and was crying pretty hard when I got there.  Thanks for all the helpful thoughts and support with this, it does help to know others have gone through it too and I am not a bad mommy.

Today is Kris and my 5th Anniversary.  Hard to believe time has gone by that quickly or that we have done so much it seems in that time, we moved back to Corvallis, bought a house, changed jobs, had a baby...  All good things and I am sure more to come.  If we had been a little more forward thinking we would have planned something, we usually go somewhere, but it is too soon for me to leave Conrad for too long (I just can't yet) and I couldn't leave him overnight, not with these sleep issues, not yet.  So we didn't plan a thing.  We are going out to dinner and will bring little man with us, I think it will be a nice family dinner out.  Tomorrow we are going to a late holiday party with our friends in Portland and Conrad gets to stay with Grandma Margret for a little while.  It will be nice to have a little adult time, but I hope Conrad is a happy boy not crabby for grandma.
