You guys… you aren’t going to believe it… Monday night I got my full 8-hour night sleep since Brady was born because…
HE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!
If you are thinking so what? Then you clearly have a little one who started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks (I have a lot of friends like you) and you are so crazy lucky for that. These almost 8 months have been a blur of sleepless nights, seeing all hours on the clock, rocking, feeding, soothing, yawning.
Part of me thought that it may never happen, and while I don’t want to jinx this by shouting it from the roof tops, I have to share with you all – the ones that have tried to help and offer advice. He did it! I am so very proud of him like he just landed his own reality show was just accepted to an Ivy league school.
We have made it through three amazing nights with no nighttime wake-ups. I think we are on to something! Once I’ve got this down and some more time has passed I will be writing all about how I got this done and hopefully it will help those of you in my boat that are tired and wondering how they’re going to make it through another day. For now I will just say this, “this too shall pass.” Promise.

YAY!!! How exciting. I was a lucky one at 12 weeks but we do revert back every now and then. I think its just a process of sticking with it. Whoop whoop!!!
