Is She Dead??

So yesterday morning was cause for celebration:

Erica went to bed at 8:30pm the night before. Twice in the night I heard her make a sound on the monitor, but she quickly went back to bed (and so did I). Suddenly, Troy's alarm went off at 6am. My first thought was, "Oh my gosh, I didn't turn the monitor on last night and I slept right through her cries." This was not the case as explained above. Within a split second, my second thought was, "Is she dead?" I ran to her room and she was sleeping peacefully. She awoke a few minutes later at 6:15am - making it an almost 10 hour stretch if I did my post-pregnancy math right. Christmas miracles happening all around.

Oh, that is a blessed, BLESSED, night!! And then you just hope it wasn't a fluke and she will start doing that every night. I hope that's the way it went. :)

Yeah! Way to go Erica!

It was fun to see you on Skype today!

Hope lots more sleep is in your future. Near future.

You should check your husband's hands for NyQuil residue! (You know I'm kidding, right.)
