i have an announcement everybody: JACKSON IS SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
oops, maybe i should have whispered it.
sleep. what a glorious thing. everyone and i mean EVERYONE tells you as a pregnant woman and new mom to get your sleep. enjoy your sleep before the baby is born, get as much sleep as you can, sleep when the baby sleeps, never wake a sleeping baby, etc. but who can sleep in those last few weeks of pregnancy anyway? i mean really sleep. i got more sleep after jackson was born than i did in weeks thirty through forty.
perhaps i should define what i call "through the night". to me this means sleeping for six to seven hours at a stretch without waking up. something jackson has been doing on and off since week two. lately, however, it has become more constant and hopefully permanent. he used to go to sleep around nine or ten with feedings at one and five. now he goes to bed at seven thirty with only one wake up at two-ish and doesn't stir again until seven thirty. it's wonderful!
i suppose all those advice givers are right about one thing. if i did sleep during the day when our baby slept, i'd be able to stay awake longer at night time. maybe then i could actually accomplish everything on my to-do list. i'd get sooo much done! ha ha ha, yeah right.

ooh, i'm so jealous. Samuel didn't sleep longer than 2 hours at a time last night, ahhh!
Well that is awesome. what a good guy.
annie, just poke eric and tell him it's his turn!
Make sure you teach Jackson to say Dada before Mama.
"Daaaaadaaaaaaa" in the middle of the night is music to my ears.
