Nighttime adventures

Last night, we had a big adventure.  We couldn’t decide how late to keep Nicky up, if we should try to keep him up…well, he decided for us.  From about 7:30 pm until about 1:30 am, he pretty much did not stop eating!  I didn’t think it was possible and I was proven wrong.  He took little breaks here and there (the longest one was a whole hour!), and after about 5 hours, Chuck called the nurse at the hospital to see if there was anything we could do to get me a break because he was worried about my resting and recovery.  She told him that using a pacifier would be perfectly acceptable to use and it wouldn’t cause us problems later.  I was really determined not to let it get that far though; I was convinced that he had to stop eating at some point, and if we saw it through, he’d probably sleep pretty well.  Turned out, I was right!  When we finally went to sleep, he didn’t wake us up until 6:30 am!  That’s FIVE HOURS of uninterrupted sleep IN A ROW!  Ahhhhhh…
