FINALLY!!!!

Well, for almost 2 weeks now, Austin has been SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!! We love our baby dearly, but needless to say, the past 7.5 months have been EXHAUSTING!!! Guess I just didn't know how lucky I had it with Aubrey since she was always a good sleeper. It took a couple attempts at the "Ferber Method" with Austin, but eventually, he learned to sleep all night long. From the time he was born, he pretty much woke up every 3-4 hours. After 7 months of that, I was starting to be a wreck. :) The trick for Austin was to let him cry it out at nap time. In my failed attempts to get him to sleep through the night, I was still rocking him to sleep at naps, but as soon as I stopped that, he learned to soothe himself to sleep. He's sleeping 10-11 hours a night! So, now that I'm actually getting a good night's rest after almost a year (I couldn't sleep well at the end of my pregnancy either), I feel fabulous!!!
