Good Morning, Good Morning, Ava slept the whole night through. Good Morning, Good Morning, to me!

On Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 Ava slept the whole night through...YAHOOOOOO!!! I fed her at 1am and was expecting her to wake me up again around 5am, but when Rich's alarm went off at 5:30 I didn't hear anything. I waited and waited and didn't hear anything. Being a little nervous I went and peeked. Ava was sound asleep and seemed comfortable, so I let her sleep. Rich said goodbye to me at 7am and she was still asleep. I was excited about the possibility of Ava sleeping the night through, but also confused and unsure what to do with myself. Around 9am she woke-up with a very full diaper and an empty tummy. After I changed and fed Ava she was in a great mood for another hour before she decided to take a nap. Ever since then she has been sleeping from 1-9am and taking several naps in the afternoon. I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful this change is and how much better I feel after a decent nights sleep. I still probably only get about 6 hours of sleep, but it is much better than the 4-6 hours broken up in 2 hour increments.
I LOVE SLEEP!!

*The title is a spin off of the song "Good Morning" from Singing in the Rain. When Ava wakes up in the morning I sing this song to her while changing her diaper.
