So at 10 weeks old, Reese began sleeping 8-9.5 hours straight through the night = a blessing. The first night it happened, as we'd been told we'd do, we both woke up suddenly about 6 am and asked each other if the other had fed her yet, but both replied no. So we went out and peeked at her and she was still sound asleep, it was amazing. This has continued this for the past 2 weeks now (knock on wood). Reese must get those good sleeping genes from her Auntie Jen and I. If she could only do 12 hours, then she'd be up to our caliber...or what I used to be able to do. Since Im nursing, my body no longer allows that much interrupted sleep at once. :( Eight hours is good enough now though.
This was also Ty's first full week back to work, so the timing couldn't have been better.
She had been sleeping in the pack and play on the first floor (since that's closer to our bedroom), but once she started sleeping through the night we moved her up to her room and crib. The first night for that was Sat. April 9th, when we had the Gates and Steedmans over to hang out, and Ty and Gate tried to change burnt out ceiling lights in our over 20 foot ceilings. That is what our Saturday nights have come to. :) It was interesting (and scary) to watch and very fun to hang out with our friends nonetheless. Since she was now sleeping so far away from us, this was the first night we needed to use the video monitor. However we didn't know we had to plug it in and the battery died in the middle of the night. When we both woke up we she crying up there (we heard it faintly), and we felt so bad! We dont know how long she was up but hopefully not too long. Also, the night before I had placed her in her crib on the left side under her mobile and when I went up to get her, this is where she was:

Somehow, even in her Woombie (swaddler), she maneuvered her way to the opposite end of the bed overnight. At least she is utilizing the whole crib space. :)
Here is Reese sleeping (partially) in her Woombie during the day. She loves this thing and so do we! She doesn't sleep well without it. She is still taking like 5 or so cat naps throughout the day, with the longest one usually being about an hour or so after she gets up.
