Sleep and stuff with Jude

So it's official. I am done doing the dream feed. Woohoo! Freedom! Jude wasn't sleeping through the night anyway, so I didn't feel like I had anything to lose.

Wouldn't you know it?
He starts sleeping through the night! What up with that?

For the past 4 (5?) nights he has slept through the night. He'll often stir for about 5 or so minutes around 11pm but then go back to sleep. It's amazing. Last night he did wake up at 5:30 so I thought I'd feed him since it was close enough to morning. He went back to sleep until 8am which was lovely.

Last night I went to bed at 9:30. 9:30, people! Jamie asked me if I was 12 years old as I lay in bed at 9:30 with a big smile on my face.

Other than that, Jude's attachment is growing more and more intense. It's a bit frustrating to be quite honest. The second he sees me, he's fussing and whining to be with me, even if he was happy as a lark before. Luckily I can still leave him with other people at the church or the Y and he's fine (unlike with Noah). I'm hoping that won't change!

I know it's quite normal and we'll move past it eventually...but the whining is driving me quite batty. It's likely his teeth bothering him as well (the top two are on their way in!) so I know it's not ALL him just being a little punk.

Dream Feed Update

Last night I didn't end up feeding Jude at the dream feed - by the time I got upstairs he had stopped crying and settled for the night. I did feed him around 4am when he woke up, but other than that, it was good.

Tonight I was out until 11:15pm and Jamie said that Jude hadn't woken up at all so perhaps he's moving past this dream feeding waking. (Or at least for tonight he has...cuz you can never predict babies' sleeping patterns! :D)

It's 11:38pm and I think I should get to bed!

Dream Feed Droppage

Night one of dropping the dream feed.

It's 10:57pm and Jude has (surprisingly) not woken up. Generally he's woken up every night at some point between 9:30 and 11pm. But not tonight. It could be because he had shorter naps and was busy, busy so got tired out, but we'll see.
We shall see how tonight goes.

An update will be posted sometime tomorrow. (And so begins my obsessive blogging about sleep habits...please feel free to skip over them as they appear. I blog because I will forget.)

*edit - it's 11:29 and Jude's wailing away. Hm, I think I will feed him. The kid can holler, let me tell you!
