A Good Night's Sleep...

Finally!! Last night we finally got our first pretty full night's sleep in a week and it was much needed. Starting last Tuesday night when I woke up at midnight with contractions, Nathan and I have been up at least half of every night. We spent the following 2 nights in the hospital and you know how sleep is there, and the first 4 nights at home Reese has had a little bit of day/night mix-up. She sleeps most of the day away, no trouble at all going down and would probably sleep hours on end if we let her. Then when night comes, she is all of the sudden wide awake and hard to get to sleep. She has had a good stretch every night of about 3-4 hours, but the rest of the night has been very long. But last night, thanks to our friend Julie and her gliding/swing like contraption that she let us borrow, we put her down at 11 in it and she slept until 3:30! She woke up, ate, and slept till 7. It may not happen again for a while, but it feels good to feel normal for a day :)
