I got to sleep in til 8am!

Since when does sleeping til 8am constitute "sleeping in"? Well, that would be right around the time Madeline was born. Ever since the first day Madeline slept through the night (Father's day 2007) we've struggled with sleep. The 2007/2008 winter was tough. Madeline got 3 or 4 ear infections and every time she got one she also acquired sleep issues. When she was sick we let her sleep with us because it was easier on us. That started a bad habit and each time we got her sleeping all night in her own crib again, she'd get sick. We were starting to wonder if we'd ever get a good nights sleep again. All of the sudden last week she started sleeping all night again. We got a full 8 hours plus. 5 out of the last 8 nights Madeline's slept for 12 hours in a row without a peep. I worried the first couple of nights. Eric thinks I'm nuts. I wish for a full nights rest and then when it happens I worry something is wrong with her. We will be getting a video monitor before our next child is born. Hopefully this wonderful sleep continues and we'll get a full year of sleeping in!
