4. 15.09 It's My Birthday and I'll Sleep If I Want Too

Miracle of all miracles the baby slept. He cried ten minutes at bedtime and then woke around nine and cried ten minute and then slept until 1:30pm!!! That is seven, yes SEVEN hours in a row with out nursing. I then nursed him and we woke up at a quarter to five. You can't beat that!! Now I just need to sleep. I need to go to bed early so that I can get a good four hour stretch. It's been soooo long since I've slept four whole hours in a row.

It's also my 35th birthday today. Robert took the day off. It was so nice to laze around the house go out to good Lebanese food and just be with my family. I received all the calls from family and a few dear friends and tons of great birthday messages from friends on Face Book.

I wasn't looking forward to turning 35. Here I am with my frumpy post pregnancy body, not getting enough sleep and feeling like I don't have a good routine down with both kids, but because Noah is sleeping better these past couple of days I feel hopeful and it reminds me that things will become more routine with time.
