Sleeping Beauty

Yesterday Leah was starting to get tired earlier than normal so I decided to get her ready for bed. I bathed her, we had some mommy & daughter time,  and I fed her.

Normally Leah will go to bed around 9:30-10:00 at night, but she was so tired that she fell asleep at 8:45. Usually she wakes around 6:00-6:30 in the morning to eat on days that I have to go to work, but since I didn't have to work the next day and she didn't wake to feed, I decided to let her sleep through and skip the feeding.........

6:30 came and went. At 7:30, I wasn't too concerned. At 8:30, I had my ear against the monitor hoping to hear something but didn't, so I went to check on her to make sure everything was okay. By 9:30, I was in a LOT of pain (you moms know what I'm talking about when you skip a feeding or in this case two!) and was getting worried that she was hungry, but told myself not to wake her because if she was hungry she would wake herself...it wasn't until 11:00 o'clock that I FINALLY had to WAKE HER UP...she was still asleep! She might have slept all day for all I know, but being the concerned mom that I am, I felt that I had to wake her up so she can eat. Leah slept a whopping 13 hours straight! Can you believe it?

THEN....a whole hour and a half later she lets out a huge yawn while we were playing...I couldn't BELIEVE that she was tired already. Leah slept another 3 hours! What a sleepy head :)

I thought for sure that I would have a hard time putting her to bed tonight, but she was tired and went to bed at 9:00 PM. She must be growing! LOL
