July 14, 2008: Jade finally slep through the night! She slept from 10:30pm to 6:30am. If only I hadn't been so nervous I could have slept as well. I was a wreck the entire night because I kept thinking she wasn't breathing, that's why she wasn't waking up. I would wake up in this panic, look at the clock and see that it had been longer than ususal and that Jade should have been up by now. I would race into her room to check on her but everytime she would be sleeping peacefully. I think I did that at least three times. Needless to say, I was still exhausted come morning but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I swear, this waking up every 3 hours to feed is much harder than staying up all night. You never can get into the REM sleep before you have to wake up again. I feel so exhausted all the time. So this sleeping for 8 hours straight seems like a gift from heaven. Hopefully she keeps it up. The Babywise book that I am reading says that my 8-12 weeks she should start sleeping through the night. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
