Sleep is bliss ... sort of!

I should be totally rested. For two nights in a row now Miss Paige has slept mostly through the night in her own room ... I say mostly because daddy has gotten up twice each night to turn on her Ocean Wonders Aquarium to put her back to sleep. So why am I feeling even more tired than normal?

Anyway, this is still pretty exciting news for our house. With Miss Paige not eating much at daycare I was still feeding her at night whenever she woke up so that she wouldn't fall anymore behind than she already was in the weight category. Usually once she woke up she would be with us in our bed the rest of the night. It's something I hated to do but I just couldn't be getting up twice a night like that to feed her. So this news of her (mostly) sleeping the whole night in her own room is big news. It's so nice to have the whole bed to ourselves again. Somehow even though Ryan and I are like 10 to 20 times the size of Paige, she managed to take up about 90% of the bed. Ryan and I would both wake up in the morning ... glued to the edge of the bed while Paige was comfortably laying cross ways (which just floors us because the girl can't roll over ... yet was somehow able to twist her body) between us ... arms totally stretched out to the side and just as happy as one could be.

So yes, even if we need to get up once or twice to start her aquarium, it's totally worth it because we can actually sleep on our backs or our sides or tummys or whatever way we want in our own bed.

And a sneak peak to Monday's entry ... we'll be trying a little bit of mashed banana in Paige's rice cereal this weekend ... we'll let you know how it goes. :)
