Yay for Sleep!



On Thursday night we "sleep trained" Olive, which was so hard and sad. She spent most of the night up crying trying to figure out how to sleep. I kept checking on her every 5-15 minutes to remind her that she was okay. Well on Friday night, Olive slept from 8:00 (she only took three minutes to fall asleep) till 11:00 when I woke up her to feed her, then I put her down and she put her self back to sleep and she slept until 3:30 when I fed her again and then she slept till 8:00 am. Last night she had a tougher time falling asleep, but slept from 8:15 until 12:30 when I fed her and then she slept until 8:00 am this morning! Yay, Olive! The only problem is, she is sleeping on her belly. I try to flip her over, but she wakes up only minutes later and flips herself back on to her tummy. Which worries me, and makes me not sleep so well because I am always checking on her. I do kind of miss her cuddling with me all night, but am excited about finally being able to get some real sleep.

Wow! What a fast little learner! So glad you can get more sleep now. I think Jude liked sleeping on his tummy too so maybe you could ask Bekah what she did.

Love you guys!
