Well Tristan slept really well in his crib until about 11pm (3 hours after we put him down). This is very typical for him. I nursed him and he went right back to sleep. 2am rolls around and I can hear him waking up again... another 3 hours, again very typical for him. I decided to wait it out until he got really fussy to see if he'd go back to sleep. He did! Or at least I think he did because I honestly feel like last night was a big blur. I can't remember if I went and got him at 2am and put him back in our room (for my own comfort) or if he went back to sleep until 4am. I am almost positive he went back to sleep until 4am and then I brought him back to our room because I don't recall nursing twice and I definitely remember feeling very "full" when I finally did feed him. So... then he slept from 4-6 and then 6:30-8:30. I really do think his sleeping has a lot to do with that tiny playpen. All in all I think the night was pretty successful. Once I get a chair in his room everything will be so much better! I nursed on the floor with my back to his closet at 11 last night... not too fun. That's how I was feeding him for that entire week when we were moving out, though so it was OK. Thankfully since he's older he eats a whole lot faster!
This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...
