Miracle of Miracles!

Amazing! Incredible! Stupendous! Last night, Ava slept through the night! (Don't hate us, Ike).
She slept from 9:45 pm until 6:30 am. When I got up at 5:00 I checked to make sure she was still alive! Hopefully it wasn't a fluke. Hopefully this is the start of something beautiful.

I've read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and currently I'm reading Baby Wise, and I think both have helped. I've been trying to implement some of their theories and I think it may be what made this happen. I realized that I've made Ava too dependent upon me for soothing, and that somehow, gradually, I need to help her learn to soothe herself and get herself back to sleep. I didn't think it was possible with all her gas and reflux, but in Baby Wise they say even those babies can do it (and at 9 weeks even!)

Wow. I am still amazed. And excited!
