In some ways it seems like forever ago that Rebecca joined our family. In other ways, three weeks ago feels like yesterday. At any rate, she's three weeks old today.
Three weeks of cuddling and kissing the top of her head.
Three weeks of changing lots of tiny (but VERY messy!) diapers.
Three weeks of sleepy grins (I can't wait until she smiles for real!) and funny faces.
Three weeks of frustrating hours of inconsolable crying and sleepless nights.
Until two nights ago, that is, because....
SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!
and even better....
she slept through the night TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW!!!!!!!!
I'm still catching up on lots of missed sleep, so I'm still tired, but boy, did it feel good to sleep almost all night! (I got her to bed at 11:00 each of those nights and she was up at 5:30--and I woke up to check on her, too).
How did I get so blessed?? (Maybe because I paid my dues with Rachel, who was a terrible sleeper for the first six months or so???)
Who knows if it will continue, but I'm sure enjoying it while it lasts!
YIPEE! Here's praying for nights 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..... Go Rebecca! You can do it! All that eating it kicking in.
