Kirsty had almost 12hrs of solid sleep last night!!

Kirsty went to bed (exhausted) at 7:30pm last night, she was so tired that she didn't even need her dummy. (if she doesn't take her dumdum when I lay her down, I normally sit it on the matress close by her head). I heard her at around 1am, so I did my usual... get up, go to the bathroom, then go in to feed her.

I opened the door & walked right up to her cot and stopped in my tracks, scared to even breathe... she'd found her dumdum, popped it in her mouth, and went back to sleep all by herself!!!! So my dilemma was... how do I get back out of her room with its creaky floorboards, without waking her up I crept out as quietly as I could, and climbed back into bed, fully expecting to have to get up again in 10 minutes to feed Kirsty. I listened for 10 mins and heard nothing, so rolled over & went to sleep.

I woke up at 6am... panicking... was she ok?! She'd never slept that long before!! She has gone 8pm-5am twice but never 11.5hrs!! I got up and crept into her room thinking I would probably wake her up, but nope! She was sound asleep still!! I touched her to make sure she was ok (paranoid mummy!), she was fine. This was at 6:05am. I got dressed, came downstairs & waited...

She finally woke up at 6:45am!! Almost 12 hours of sleep!!!! She didn't wake up at 1am-ish, just stirred. I'm glad for her because she has been quite grumpy the past few days, clingy to me & grumpy! I wondered if she has been teething or just feeling a bit off colour. Hopefully she'll be in a fab mood all day with such great sleep!!!
