The Return of Sleep

Sleep, our long-lost friend, has finally returned.

Countless friends and family have advised us that eventually Lucie and Ryan will start sleeping consistently. But when you haven't slept more than 90 minutes continously since September, those words ring a little hollow.

However, last week a new milestone was reached as we're now only getting up twice a night for feedings/changings. Megan and I are able to sleep about 5 hours a night. Sleep is still spread over three cycles, none longer than 3 hours, but that's a far cry from our October and November experience of 3 to 4 hours a night in one hour cycles.
