Sleeping In

We had always hoped that Jillian would be a good sleeper, but we had no idea it would be this soon.

On Saturday night, we were planning on getting up at 7:00 a.m. to go to a post-partum checkup at the hospital. From just the first few nights with Jillian, we found that she woke up about every 2 hours wanting to be fed ... so we figured that would be the case again. So, we set the alarm for 7:00 a.m., and went to bed at about 1:00 a.m., expecting her to wake up in a couple hours.

The next thing we knew, the alarm was going off. Heather woke up in a bit of a panic, and immediately rocked the bassinet. Jillian stirred a bit, helping her to relax. We were in shock that Jillian could have slept for 6 hours straight. But, it is becoming very obvious that when it comes to sleeping, she is very much like her Mommy.

So now, we are having to set the alarm for every 2 hours, and even then, waking up Jillian can be quite a chore ... though we've found that the best way to do that is to change her diaper (definitely not one of her favorite activities).
