sweet dreams

With every baby a month or so after birth I have awoken terrified, only to sneak in to the nursery to check that they are still breathing. Julia Ellen has been gradually going longer at nights between feeds, but last night she officially hit the 8 hour mark.


Of course what that means is that instead of going back to bed and getting more rest, I'm wide awake at 5am and find myself padding downstairs for a little blog reading and posting.

As a first child who spent the first year or so of her life sleeping with her mother's hand on her chest due to "what if the baby isn't breathing" fears, I'm amazed that you're able to have the baby in another room!

My hubby is the one with the "is the baby breathing" fear, which led to our implementing the family bed/bedroom to allay his fears :-)

She is BEAUTIFUL! Hooray for peacefully sleeping babies!
