All Nighter

So sleeping habits are changing in the Updegrove household.  One of us is learning to function on minimal sleep.  You might at first think I was talking about myself since I have to get up to feed Natalie but you would be wrong (more on that later).  Gary is now having to take call which means some nights he doesn't get home to real late (if at all!!)  He is learning to catch a wink of sleep when ever he can!

Isn't he so cute!  This is after a night of getting home at 2 am and having to get back up at 4:30!  

Now on to the exciting change in our sleeping habits.  I had been waking Natalie up after 5.5 hours (which is 1.5 hours longer than out Pediatrician had last recommended- grant it, that was 5 weeks ago)(and yes I am a first time Mom if you can't tell, I woke my sleeping child).  Sometimes I had a hard time waking her so two nights ago I decided to see how long she would sleep.  I fed her at 10 pm and then put her right to bed.  I awoke at 6 am on my own, and she was still sleeping!!!  She slept straight through the night at 6 weeks, hallelujah!!  Lets just hope it continues.  I missed catching this milestone on camera but this morning she looked so cute during her nap I quickly snapped a shot.  Here is a pic of my wonderful sleeper!
