I have been off for a week thanks to my sick call last Wednesday and Ethan is starting to get back into the groove of things. The first few nights were still bad with him up every hour or so until about 3, then he would sleep three hours in a row. Friday night he slept 7 hours and then 4 hours and I was in heaven. I ended up swaddling him again and leaving some lights on so it seemed like we were awake. I don't know what did it, but I was so happy. He slept in two 3 hour blocks on Saturday night, but I had to get him up at 4 to go to the Sunrise service on Sunday morning, so that was all me. Last night, he had three 3 hour blocks, which was still better than every hour. He is doing much better, but tomorrow is back to work for me. I am hoping it doesn't screw him all up again. I don't know what I would do if he kept up with the not sleeping. I loved being home all those days, but it will be good for me to go back to work tomorrow.

He is up from his nap and ready to eat, so off I go!
