Sleep

Sleep is this treasured commodity that I truly did not think I would get much of while being pregnant and having a baby. Before pregnancy, I would fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I would remember kissing Jared goodnight and then would wake up in the morning. While pregnant...things didn't change much- surprisingly. I did wake up to go to the bathroom 3-4 times per night, but I never really "woke up" but would almost sleep walk to the bathroom.

Now with a newborn...I still sleep great. :) Grayson sleeps anywhere between 3-6 hour stretches every night. Last night he did 6 1/2 hours! Best thing about it- he falls back asleep after eating so well. I don't mind waking up with him and feeding him. I think the hardest part would be trying to get a screaming baby back to sleep, but we don't really struggle with that.

This week Grayson made the big move from the bassinet to his crib- all the way down the hall! He's doing great and sleeping just as well there as he did in the bassinet. He is a wiggle worm though!! Yesterday morning, Grayson woke up screaming- poor kid had wiggled his way to the side of the crib and got his leg stuck in the slats! I felt terrible for him! So, yesterday afternoon I went to Babies R Us and bought some breathable bumpers for the crib. Now we won't have to worry about his legs getting stuck with him being such a wiggle worm. Silly boy. Then this morning, he had turned 90 degrees. He was sideways in the crib! That's some talent for a 5 week old little boy!

Little guy is falling asleep right now. Daddy is cuddling with him. Sweet. I love these moments.
