Do I Dare Jinx This?
First: How is it DECEMBER FORTH already?!?!?
Anyway. The jinxing. By saying stuff out loud. Goes as follows:
Emma has slept from 7 pm to aaaalmost 6 am three nights in a row now. No drinking, no serious waking up screaming.
It kinda happened by accident. a) Finnur left for his biannual two-week-long work-trip to California on Saturday. b) Sewing club girls and other wiser older women all told me it was time to drop the midnight feeding, so c) I decided to not sleep in my bed at all, just stay on the office bed. d) I went to bed soooo late two nights in a row (1 am-ish) that even if Emma woke up, there was no way I’d wake up to her. e) She’s mastered standing up and sitting down, and f) has a pillow at the foot of her crib that she likes to collapse on top of when insulted by lack of attention.
And so, with nobody to complain to in the bedroom, she’s stopped.
Now I just have to hang out in the office for a week or so, before she hopefully forgets about there ever having been night-time feedings, and then I can move back in. That’s the theory, anyway! 🙂
