Sleep Changes Everything

So for the most part, we're pretty lucky in the sleep thing. Brody sleeps decently- though he does typically wake up 2-3 times a night looking for the pacifier which has been thrown to the floor, or is in his hand and he can't really figure out that it would solve all of his problems, even if he is capable of finding his mouth with it. But those 2-3 times a night of waking up, plus waking up when Matt feeds him around 6, well, it's hard. It's hard to never get more than 3 hours of sleep at any given time, and it wears on you. So while it's not always the quantity of sleep that's missing when you are a parent, the quality certainly decreases.

But last night? Last night he went to bed around 8, slept until 5:45, and went back to sleep at 6:15 until 8. And me? I slept from 10 until 5:45- WITHOUT. WAKING. UP. Not once, not ever. And it was the best feeling in the world. I even stayed in bed and slept on and off until 7:30. I mean seriously? Is there anything better in life?
