Evidently all I had to do was complain publicly about our sleep schedule to fix the problem (knock on wood). We’ve had three fantastic, sleep-filled, calm, extremely luxurious, and completely lovely nights in a row. Miss Leyba and I have even been sleeping late together. (So nice to cuddle in bed with my daughter. Wouldn’t have it any other way.) I attribute this major shift in our sleep schedule to the growth spurt we thought was over. Evidently we were wrong! We’re still feeding every hour during the day over here. If this is what it takes to get 8 hours of sleep then I am all for it. Plus, we are loving the awake time.
It’s perfect timing too because some of my stitches reopened earlier this week (major wake-up call to slow down!), so at least I am well-rested to better cope and heal. My father and sister are coming into town today to meet Miss Leyba, so we’ll have two extra sets of hands to help as well. Can’t wait to see them!
