A Few Hours of Sleep

Last night I crawled into bed at 9:30 pm. Shelby was asleep sometime between 9 and 9:30. She slept until 2:30 when I awoke to hear her stirring. We got up and completed a ritual familiar to many parents, we changed a diaper and then settled on the couch to feed. She nursed for 30 minutes and then fell back asleep. I put her back in her bassinet and went back to bed and slept until I heard her stirring again. At 5:45. She slept for five hours the first stretch and then another 2 hours and 45 minutes the second stretch. I could hardly believe it! What a great 3 1/2 week old I have. But who am I kidding, she is only 3 1/2 weeks old, so she will not be consistent. Plus, so many things can irritate a little baby. But she's an angel, so I will take whatever she gives!
