6 HOURS!!

So, last night Ryan slept for 6 straight hours!! I couldn't believe it when I woke up and looked at the clock. I started counting the hours (and recounting them to double check). I was shocked. I was thinking, if we were lucky, Ryan might get a 5-6 hour stretch of sleep in the next couple weeks when he was around 7-8wks old (that's about when Tyler had his first long stretch). Up to now we've had a few 4 hour stretches but usually Ryan likes his 3 hours of sleep the best. What a nice surprise! Ryan went to bed around 10:15 last night & woke up for a feeding around 4:10am.
I remember when Tyler first had his long stretch of sleep I woke up just shortly before he did almost in a panic thinking why haven't I heard him. I hate to admit it, but it was a little different this time. This time, Ryan woke me up with his trademark squeaking, and I was still pretty sleepy. I guess when you have two little ones you're a little less panicky and need that sleep even more.
Now, if we can just make this 6 hours a regular thing. Plus, I still need to work on getting six straight hours ... I probably went to bed & fell asleep about an hour after Ryan did last night. Don't get me wrong, 5 hours is Fantastic ... I'll take whatever I can get.
