"It's a miracle"

Those are the words I whispered to Jeremy as I crawled back into bed at 5:30am this morning after getting up to feed Eli...for the first time!!! That's right folks, he slept through the night!!! He slept from 9:15pm - 5:00am. That's almost 8 hours! The longest he'd gone before that was 5 hours and that was on his 5th or 6th day of life. Since then it's been 2, 3, an occasional 4 or a very rare 4 1/2, but this was amazing! Of course I woke up a few times, in shock, and of course I was quite engorged by 5:00am, but I don't care! I am in a state of very happy shock. :) I really hope this is the start of a new habit, and not just a fluke. I decided it doesn't get much better than going to pick up my happy smiling baby after he's been sleeping for 8 hours. Today is going to be a great day!
