Big News


Click on picture to check out his hair style

So I have some great news for you all. Last night was the first night in ages that I was able to sleep through the night without any kids crying. No crying babies, and no getting up to do personal business!. It has been over two years or before Jake was born since this has happened. Jake was terrible at sleeping through the night. I don't know how many times I put him in the basement to do the "cry it out" thing. He would get the hint and then I would move his crib back upstairs when about two days later he would start crying for his bottle again. His room was right next to my room I always cave and just give him his bottle. Matt would say just leave him but I can't sleep through the crying. So then I would have to start over again because you have to be consistent.I hate being such a light sleeper. And then when I got pregnant with Aiden I was up at least once to use the bathroom.

So a couple of days ago I got mentally prepared for a hard night and I put him in a portable crib downstais in the laundry room. The first time he cried for about a hour. Then he woke up again about two hours later and cried for about 3o minutes. The next night he cried for about 30 minutes. And last night I didn't hear a peep. I feel so good. I am not tired and I have so much more energy. I just hope that he keeps sleeping and when I move him into his crib he doesn't do what Jake did and start crying again.

Today is Matt's Birthday. I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday and let him know that we love him so much. You are a great husband and a wonderful daddy. Thanks for all you do to take care of us.
Love Teresa, Jake and Aiden
