the nights we've been waiting for...

Would you believe...that after FIVE months with horrible sleeping...we are FINALLY getting 8 hour nights? Its sooo nice...we couldn't remember what a full night of sleep was like. Or that it ever felt sooo good.

Shortly after being off dairy, chocolate and caffeine (even decaf), Coy no longer wakes up ever hour of the night crying. But let me tell you....there is NO cheating for me! Even a little hershey kiss and a teensy bit of coffee will set him off again for the next 2 nights. But...sleep is sooo worth it! And...so this is how we wake up in the morning....all happy and smiley!

Yeah! Glad you found what was causing the problem. Great you can get your sleep! I drank soy milk and was up every night until I was 2. My poor Mom!

wheeeee!! so happy for all three of you... nothing like a semi-decent night's sleep to make the world sparkly again. so- about the coffee and chocolate: has mommy learned her lesson? :) anyhoo- the need triangle: yeah, i agree, but we mommies deserve a little teeny weeny break every now and again, i think. take one for both of us and let me know how it went, k? lol. love you!!

Elissa,

Yep, milk was America's deal too!

After 8 months off of dairy and a pretty good yeast cleanse program, I've recently been able to have goats milk! Yeah!

Congrats!! Self-sacrifice must come a little easier when smiley babies and rest are the rewards! :)
