It figures.
After 10 months of no more than 5 hours of sleep at a time I finally decided its probably time to night wean Caroline. She goes down at 8:30 and I usually feed her at 11pm before I go to bed and then she wakes around 3 or 4, so I was going to try to drop the 11pm feeding enabling me to go to bed earlier if I need to. The plan was for Andy to pat her back to reassure her and get her over the habit of eating without being completely ignored, at least the first few nights. I was really anxious going to bed last night, I hate going through these things.
Well wouldn't you know, she went down last night at 8:45 and slept till 3:15- LOL! This is a first, in her 10 months of life I have never had one of those nights where you wake up and freak in the morning because the baby never woke you up! While I hate this process I am SO looking forward to 7-8 hrs of uninterrupted sleep!
So we'll see what tonight brings, I'd be very surprised if it happened again.
One reason for my motivation to night wean is because next week I am beginning scenic city bootcamp and I will need more sleep than I am getting.
Oh, did I mention the start time was 5:30AM?!?! Yes, I know I am insane. The most common response I get to this news is- "but you're not a morning person!". Yes, its true. I hate waking up and waking up before the sun is just WRONG! But I love a good challenge and am going to face every morning with a good friend so I am looking forward to the laughs and the hard work, even if part of the time I am half asleep! It's a 4 week long bootcamp which meets 5 days a week, at 5:30AM (just thought I'd put that in again)! So if you see me during the month of Sept it might be a good idea to check to make sure I have all my kids and haven't forgotten anyone. It's possible I will be losing my mind. LOL (or maybe signing up for bootcamp means I already lost it!)
I'll try to post about my bootcamp adventure including picts, so it should be very entertaining. :)

The bootcamp was one of those features on 50/50 fridays and was purchased for considerably cheaper. If you aren't checking 50/50 fridays and 2 for 1 on 3 then you should start to do it soon!!!

where do you find 50/50 fridays? I do check the 2 for 1 on 3 and have purchased a certificate from there.

Here are the links:
50/50 Fridays
They recently featured Lupis although you have to be by your computer with credit card in hand at 8:59 AM to catch that one! It sold out in 4 minutes last time. Mellow mushroom is coming up again- YUM!!
2 for 1 on 3
I bought a gift cert to the zoo membership here and My family dinners which I think is still featured.

I had never heard of 50/50 Fridays, I will be checking, thanks for the link, I went to check the zoo membership after you blogged about it and decided to do it later, when I came back it was gone!
