Bliss!

I haven't had 8 straight hours of sleep since May, but this weekend we changed the ladies' schedule and its working out so well for everyone! Up until last friday, we were doing a dream feed at midnight so I would 'nap' from 10 or 11pm until midnight, then wake up and DH and I would each feed a baby. So I was only up for maybe a half hour and then back in bed by 12:30 or 1am the latest. But now we are doing a dream feed at 10pm which means I get to sleep from 10:30pm until 6:30am straight! Its amazing how this is so much more refreshing than waking up in the middle even though it was only a half hour.

We were worried the ladies wouldn't sleep until 6ish, but they've been great. They are now going to sleep between 7 and 7:30 (8:30 was the old bedtime, but they were so cranky and tired), they barely wake up at 10pm for a diaper change and bottle and then sleep straight until 6ish.

Sorry to brag, but it just feels so good to sleep.. and the ladies are so much more pleasant to be around when they are well rested!

 

Aaahhhhh! Sleep rules! I hope you have many more good nights like that.

 

WAY TO GO!!!! :banana: I'm still waiting on my 8 hours!! :lazy: if I get 3 I feel lucky!

 

Awesome! congrats - may you have many more nights just like that!

 

woohoo!!! I know how much that "extra" rest can do for a mama!

 

Awesome! Isn't it the best feeling ever when you get that full night of sleep?? Ah, the joy of sleep ... glad to hear they are doing well!

 

congrats!!! I'm so happy for you - don't you feel like a new woman!??

 

:banana: Yay for sleep!

 

Yay for you I have to admit, I'm jealous, I just posted that I haven't gotten 8 hours of solid sleep in a year and a half. It sucks. So good for you!

 

That is the best feeling in the world :Clap: Here's to many more.
