The Greatest Gift

Life has treated me very well.  Every year for my birthday, and Christmas, and every other gift-giving occasion, I wanted only one thing: children.  And now I have children.  And I want only one thing: to be able to sleep through the night.  For the morning leading into my birthday, they did.  Eight hours.  Eight blessed hours.  They'll never do it again, of course.  But just to remember what it felt like...

I agree with you about the sleep thing. My little Charlie still does not sleep through the night and he is 15 months old! Oh to have a full night\'s sleep. I would pay money for it!

Sleep: It\'s never been so precious has it? LOL!

Wow, lucky you! Interestingly, Owen slept through the night last night for the first time ever. Unfortunately, I was up until 2 am preparing for a meeting at work, and got up at 5:45 am (ugh!!), so I didn\'t even get to enjoy it! At least he didn\'t also wake me up at 3:30 or 4...

Congratulations! And it WILL happen again, eventually...

That is the greatest gift, huh? Mine has done it a hand full of times. Once last night and I kept waking up freaking out that he wasn\'t okay....unfair. Happy Birthday!!!
