Thank you, Little Man! I love you...and your sleeping habits!

I Love My Little Man
Oh, how I love him!! I wake up on mornings like today with a lot of gratitude for him. Do you know why? Because he sleeps. Not all the way through the night, but I only wake up once to feed that cute boy. Then, he sleeps till 8:00 am or even longer (like right now). I should probably wake him up, but I think I'd rather blog right now.
Not a morning goes by--when I get a normal amount of sleep--that I don't think, "He is sooooo wonderful! I LOVE him!!" Not that I wouldn't love him if I only got four hours of sleep, but my appreciation for his sleeping habits runs very deeply. I am consistently getting around seven hours of sleep. That's right, S.E.V.E.N. From the girl who decided to nix being a nurse after realizing their sleeping patterns are thrown way off, I thoroughly appreciate sleep. I have always added up the hours I sleep for as long as I can remember, either when I get into bed or after I wake up in the morning. I just like to tally the hours. The more the better. Six hours doesn't cut it. And four to five hours makes me a zombie, an emotional ball ready to burst, a mess, really. I have been longing for nights full of 7-8 hours of sleep for the past couple months. Sleep is a beautiful thing. And my day (or night) of getting plenty of rest has finally come. At least, I hope this sticks.

What a good boy!! There is nothing like a baby who sleeps well. I didn't receive that gift from one of my babies until Heidi. Garen and Randi were still getting up in the night, and Heidi started sleeping 7-8 hours at 2 weeks. The blessing of a bigger baby as well.. Give him some lovin' from Gramma!!
i have always tallied my hours of sleep too! but now i dont even bother. it's too depressing or the math gets too complicated :). go Henry!
Yay for sleep!! It's amazing how much of a difference it makes to get some good quality sleep. I'm glad he's a good sleeper for you!
Nice! Once a night, that's a beautiful thing. Just keep it at one kid ;) I am with you, love my sleep, but I never get enough.
PS Thanks for your compliments about my blog :) I did a post a little while back linking to all the sites I use to get my little tricks. If you ever need help with anything I'd love to!
