Sleep

I feel pretty fortunate, because at two and a half months old, Westin sleeps at least 9 hours straight at night. Just two weeks ago I was touting how great it was that he was sleeping for 6 hours, and now I am just beside myself that he sleeps through the night! The whole sleeping thing was a big fear of mine before I had a kid. I was one of those 8-to-9-hour-a-night kind of people, and I was fearful of how I would function on very little (or no) sleep. For the first 6 weeks I was definitely sleep deprived, but the Lord sustained me and I actually felt decent in spite of the lack of sleep. And now... I'm getting around 6 to 7 hours of sleep, which is much more than I thought I would at this stage of Westin's life!

For now he is still sleeping in our living room in a pack-n-play with a bassinet on top. We will be moving him into his own room soon. We're just waiting for it to warm up a bit, as his room can be quite chilly. Hopefully he will transition to his new crib with ease.

And speaking of sleep.... it's time. Goodnight.

You don't know how good you have it. You really don't. I'm glad our little Butterball is such a good boy! He needs that sleep for all the growing he's doing!! :)
