Ah, the coveted sleep in 6 plus hour stretches! We have actually been really lucky- Kaycie slept through the night around 9 weeks, right about the time I went back to work... it's like she knew Mommy needed her sleep. That only lasted a few weeks though and then we didn't get long stretches again till around 7 months- I still consider myself lucky though.
It's funny though, I spent months consumed with the thoughts of sleep... how to get her to sleep without crying, how to make her stay asleep after I set her down, how to get her to sleep through the night... and now when she pretty consistantly sleeps through the night- we miss her! Every night when Cory comes to bed, he has me turn the monitor ALL the way up so he can hear her little breaths. Just to be sure.
And I wake up missing her little snores and knowing she is just a few feet from me dreaming those sweet baby dreams. But, it is nice to be rested and go into her room in the mornings to find her smiling and so happy to see me. My little girl is growing up so fast!
