refreshed

four nights ago, Ben and I decided to 'activate' a new sleeping method... no night-time nursing. we were nervous. a bit. well, it has gone over brilliantly. last night was the fourth night and I'll say this: I was up at 6 am this morning simply because I got almost a full six-hour stretch. incredible! on top of Alasdair adjusting really well to it, Ben suggested that I sleep in the other room for the past two nights so that the boy wouldn't smell me and fight for comfort food. ah... what a lovely man I have. hopefully we'll continue on this track and all get back to a full eight hours at some point.
as I write this, he awakes. as said, I am refreshed.
happy fourth.
