Kyle slept through the night!

As I sit here and type this I look at the clock and see that it is 5:36 AM. I have been awake for one hour. Kyle has been asleep for 7 hours! He last ate at 10:00, fell asleep right after I put him down at 10:30 (didn't even make it through one round of the mobile), and hasn't woken since. I woke up just after 4:30, thinking it must be around 2:30 (his usual middle of the night feeding time). I looked at the clock...saw 4:36....inwardly gasped....listened for breathing...whew, heard a breath....then waited....and waited...and waited.....until 4:49...looked into his bed and heard him breathe in again...so, I waited some more until I heard Karl stirring. "Karl, are you awake?" "Yes." "Kyle hasn't woken up at all and he has been asleep since 10:30." Karl says, "Should we wake him?" "NO!" I yell out. (No, I didn't really yell it out...only thought that.) So, Karl got up at 5:00 to get ready for work and I am still sitting here....5:42....full of energy after such a long night of uninterrupted sleep....still waiting.....listening as he is now stirring....and waiting some more.....

So has Kyle continued to sleep through the night? I hope so! Life changed so much once Keely started sleeping through the night--I started feeling human again!
