holy solid sleep, Batman!

OMFG - the boys slept for 6 SOLID HOURS last night! 11.45pm-5.45am! I don't know what did it (it rained last night, so maybe the sound of the water? I am SO buying a white noise machine), but I'm soooo grateful.

Yesterday was hard - I was incredibly stressed and sleep deprived, to the point where when they both started crying at the same time late last night, I couldn't move or do anything but just start crying as well (not PPD or anything, just sheer exhaustion). And then they slept! For 6 hours!

Thankyouthankyouthankyou little boys, you've made your mama a very happy and rested woman today!

I saw Ben's status update on FB and was amazed by this! I can't believe BOTH of your boys slept that long!

Just curious, how are they during the day? Do they nap well?

I know, right?! And Will wasn't even awake when Dash woke up, although I think he'd have woken up on his own in about 15 min (he seems to be on his own routine of about 15 min behind Dash - go figure). Thankfully, they seem to share the same sleeping schedule.

They nap pretty well, yeah - anywhere from about 30 min to 1.5 hours, depending on the day. The average is probably a little over an hour. Of course we have days where napping is evil and they'd rather stay awake and party lol, but for the most part they do pretty well.

Amazing. We're still going 3 hour stretches, and recently the occasional 4. Oh well, one day!

Yay, that's awesome! I hope the trend continues...and YES to the white noise machine...it's a life saver! We have ours set to "ocean" every night, all night long. And if Libby's totally fussy we resort to the hair dryer. Works every time.
