What a DIFFERENCE!!!

A whole nights sleep makes!! We moved Karis into the third bedroom Sunday night... she only woke up once, at 3am to nurse and then I put her back in her bed and went back to mine. She fussed a little, but did great. So I wasn't so tired, and when the girls woke up at 8:30 I was well rested and did not have to drag myself out of bed. That is a big accomplishment for me as I usually have to drag my butt out of bed about 9am and change diapers and get juice because Sierra can only do so much! LOL!

Well, last night, I nursed Karis before she went to bed (we had cut out that nursing as she was still waking up 2-3 times a night to nurse). SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! I woke up at 7 am to pee and checked on her and she was out. Then Ruby woke up about 7:20, and when Karis woke up to nurse at 7:35 I GOT UP!!! I wasn't tired or anything!!! That is a GI-NORMOUS feat to get me out of bed before 8!!

So cross your fingers that Karis keeps this up and I am able to sleep through the night... I mean, its only been 18+ months since the last time I was able to sleep through the night without nursing 2-5 times! (add a few months to that for having to pee 10 times a night and being uncomfortable while pregnant too!)

On the other side, Dustin said it breaks his heart that his baby is in a room all by herself! LOL! I think her moving rooms is the hardest on him! But HE wasn't the one having to nurse all night long!



And because a post is not a real post without a picture *wink wink*

This is from the day after Christmas when it snowed about an inch! Note the leaves peeking through the snow - apparently this is what 'desert people' call enough snow to sled - LOL! It was just enough provide a smooth slide down the hill by our house and melted the next day.
