I can hardly believe it myself, and I don’t know if it’s a trend that will hold, but Petra has slept through the night both of the last two nights. That’s quite a switch from the way things were with her big brother and sister, neither of whom managed to stay asleep all night until the age of eighteen months. Of course, it’s not as much of a boon for me as you might think, given that I’m a very light sleeper who wakes up at her every twitch and whimper, whether or not she herself has actually woken, and, worse, I’m breastfeeding and it’s very uncomfortable to go six to eight hours without a nursing. Don’t mistake me, though — I’m not complaining; I’ve never been so well-rested with a less-than-two-weeks-old baby and I’m doing my best to enjoy it while it lasts.
