Well, I think that our major co-sleeping days with our little guy are over. At exactly nine months old, he slept through the night for the first time. He has been sleeping through the night in his crib since. He wakes up at 7am or so, and then comes to bed with me for a few more hours (since I still need my sleep!) but he sleeps on his own for 11-12 hours a night.
Honestly, I think I am mourning the loss more than he is. The first few nights I could hardly sleep because I was waiting for him to cry and need me. That has only happened twice. But I look forward to it since I can go in his room, rock with him, and have some quiet, still moments in the middle of the night.
He is so mobile and active now that quiet moments are few and far between with him during the day.
In midwifery news for me, I found a midwife in a town close to me (where I still attend college) and I have contacted them to see if they will meet with me over coffee or lunch. I really need to speak with someone in the profession face to face and bounce off my ideas about how to go about entering this work/calling/profession. I hope to hear back from them soon.
Now I need to go do laundry, finish cleaning, and make food for our football party tonight.
