Sleeping through the night

This morning when Lydia woke up, I thought that it was still about 3 AM; I don't really know the time until I check my cell phone next to my bed. Well, when I checked my phone, I was delighted to find that it was 5:37 AM...my little one has finally learned to sleep through the night. It has been nice getting the extra sleep, but I've been waking up in the middle of the night lately due to some unusual dreams, so I haven't been been able to fully enjoy the sleep. Before coming to Houston on the 5th, I used to sleep until 11 AM AND take an afternoon nap because my body was not used to waking up several times during the night. Okay, this is coming from someone who used to sleep no less than eight hours a day and averaged about nine hours of sleep while pregnant. Since starting training, however, I've been able to wake up between 8 and 9:30 AM (depending on what time the baby gets up) and stay up for the rest of the day.

Trung and I are truly fortunate to have a good baby. Just about everyone that has met Lydia has commented about how good she is; I think she gets it from Trung. :) She never cries to have her diaper changed, so it's usually for attention, for food, or for sleep. It's even easier at night...she's just hungry, though I do change her diaper while I'm at it. She's so good that I'm afraid the next baby is going to be a real booger. :P Oh well, I'm just going to enjoy this while it lasts and deal with the next one when the time comes.

Ah-ha, caught in the act of sucking her thumb! She woke up when the flash went off and responded with this...
