Well, it's been a week...

So I think I can safely say this isn't a fluke:

GABRIEL IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hallelujah Chorus Short sound bite  Music sound bites

It started last Friday night with a sudden 7 hour stretch. The next night and every night since it's been a solid eight, sometimes eight and a half hours. It's been so freaking awesome. I have had to get up a couple times to reswaddle him. But he's never really woken up and it's right back to sleep. So, yay!!

Also, the weaning has been going well. Now that we've found a formula he likes, anyway. The second day was a little rough as he was quite fussy after the first bottle of formula. But I wasn't sure if it was that specific formula or just the change in general. The next day, tried another sample we had and that went better. Still not great, but better than the first. Then hubby picked up some of the Gerber formula the other day and that has been awesome. He's been chugging that stuff down like it's breastmilk. Plus, really no spitting up with it. We actually did just clean out a monster poop. It was BAD. Blech. But expected.

I had a bridal shower to go to today so hubby was alone with Gabe for about 5 hours. The longest yet. But it went great and they survived. :-)

So, yeah. All is well in the Switch household. :-D

Woot! That was always such a wonderful thing, I remember those days of blissful rest!

And glad to hear the weaning is going well too. :)

I'm wondering how long this is going to keep up. Hopefully for a very long time! :-)

Here's hoping he keeps it up for good! Overall, once I got Carter to finally sleep through the night, he stayed that way. Kids really rely on that routine. They need it and will thrive on it if you can keep a good, stable and steady one. :)
