Ok so as a new mommy I've become accustomed to the usual question, "is he sleeping through the night?" I don't know why but this is the update question on everybody mind. This question carries the same suspense and interest as wondering what Beyonce will wear to the Grammy's. Well as of earlier this week my usual reply to this question changed. The cub surprised Mama Bear by sleeping through the night Sunday. Of course I was elated but I was hesitant to celebrate. At two months my cub surprised me and slept a whopping 7 hours straight without waking up. He did this four consecutive days in a row. I was certain that he was well on his way to sleeping through the night. Well, I was wrong. That lasted for only those four consecutive days then we went back to the normal routine. Two months later and he would wake anywhere between 5-7.5 hours after falling asleep at night. I was too excited after Sunday then Monday happened; he woke after 6 hours. My excitement rapidly deflated. I reduced Sunday's achievement to a fluke. Well, Tuesday came and he slept through the night again. The husband immediately became jealous because apparently the cub sleeps through the night when it's mommy's night to take care of him. The husband and I alternate late night baby duties. I guess we will see if his theory is correct tonight; it's mommy night again. Someone advised that once he does it three nights in a row we're good. My reply to that...Yeah Right! The last time he teased me he did it four nights in a row then reverted. All the same I'm keeping the fingers crossed. Maybe the three night thing will hold true. If not I'll be satisfied with replying to the suspense question with "almost".
