A few weeks ago we went to get the big man some overnight diapers thinking it might help him sleep through the night since he is a pee machine. We were surprised to find out the overnight diapers did not come in a size 2 and the smallest they went was a 3. We bought the diapers anyway in preparation for his weight gain. Can you tell we just really want him to sleep through the night? Hey, this mamma is tired. Well, last Thursday Andy thought 14.3 pounds was close enough to 16 pounds to strap on a overnight diaper just to see if it would help. I fed the big man and hit the sack at 10:30. Normally I am up again at 2:00am for another feeding, but to my surprise I woke up at 5:30 for work in a panic thinking something was wrong because he did not wake up. After checking on him I found out he was just fine. I then realized I got a solid 7 hours of sleep and I am wide awake and ready to start my day full speed ahead. I haven't felt like that since sometime prior to June 25th...ahhhh, seems so long ago.
I didn't want to get too excited about this, but I did have a repeat on Friday night. I am now beginning to think these diapers are magical and we should have strapped him in these months ago. I wish I could say we had the same experience Saturday night, but I can't because we had our holiday fondue party with our friends and so we were off the routine. That's not fair to the big man so I won't count that. On Sunday night he did sleep for a good 6 hours straight so that is something. Like I said earlier, I don't think this is how it's going to be going forward because I am a realist, but I will enjoy every night that the big man allows me to sleep for more that 4 hours at a time!
