I think I woke up every hour? My coughing annoyed DH and he moved to the couch!

1 hour 15 minutes, DS woke me up. And then again every half an hour or so until it was time to get up.

The longest stretch was 3 1/2 hours ... Blech!

@runsyellowlites: I honestly don't think I've slept a stretch longer than 3 hours in like 7 or 8 months...right around when I went into the third trimester. I can function just fine on that (and coffee--thank god it doesn't affect E at all), but last night was just rough. His cheeks have been really flushed the past day or two and I think I can feel bumps on his upper gums so I think he might be cutting more teeth. I really should move my bedtime up earlier but then I wouldn't have much time to spend with DH. I need more balance in my life!

LO did her first 4 1/2 hour stretch, but I'm so used to her waking up at 3 hours that I kept jolting awake to see if she was awake, so I got about 2 1/2-3 hours. I grabbed a 2 hour nap this afternoon so that helped.

Last night was pretty amazing. DH put the dogs in the kennels and that prevented a lot of nighttime awakenings for me. My basset goes out 2-3 times a night just for fun it seems. So when he's in his kennel, he doesn't ask to go out. And when the other dog is in the kennel, she's not growling and snapping every time I move in bed (which is quite frequently, I have a hard time getting comfortable). So I probably slept nearly 8 hours with 2 interruptions (to pee, shocking, I know lol)

But tonight, DH didn't put the dogs in the kennels before bed (he goes to bed much later than me, so it's his job or else they'll just go bonkers because he's still up and in the living room/kitchen) so the basset wanted up in the bed, only to jump down, cried for water (even though he had plenty before bed!) and then wanted to go out to pee and play. Our neighbor works shift work so that always makes the dog want out. He just HAS to go bark at the neighbor.

So tonight I've gotten 3, maybe 4 hours of sleep, interrupted 3 times so far, plus DH is snoring like a freight train... And he wonders why I'm so grumpy!!!

I slept 6 hours and am up pumping. Thankfully my 5 week old is a good sleeper!

I think I slept from 10-3, got up to pee, then back to sleep and up now at 6:30 with the babe. So 5 hours, then 3.5. He slept through the night for the second time this week. Thank you 9 month Hepatitis shot.

LO slept 4.5 hours last night, then 2-hour stretches. A week ago she was STTN so I'm hoping she gets back to that soon. Not sure if its because she's still sick (this started the first night she was sick!) or if its beginning of 4 month regression!

@MamaMoose: cross your fingers she doesn't hit the 4 month regression! Lol! My daughter was STTN til 3.5 months

9 hours!! LO slept from 7:00-6:00am, and then back down til 7am and I went to bed at 9:30. It was fabulous!

5 hours then up for a feeding then back to bed for another 3 hrs.

7 hours uninterrupted - 11pm to 6am when LO needed breakfast. She downed a bottle and we were both back asleep by 6:20, and both slept until just now: 9:30!!

3 hours - 10:30 to 1:30. Then I was up with LO from 1:30 till 4, up again at 5:30, then I woke up when he stirred at 7:30, but Hubs got up with him and I slept until 9:30. I really shouldn't complain...that's not too bad for an 8-day-old. At least, it's better than I had anticipated!

From 11:30ish-7:30. It would have been more, but LO threw up at 10:45 and woke up. So sad :(. No more eggs for us for a while.

4.75 hours following a 4.5 hour stretch. LO is a great sleeper. Thank goodness!

With pee breaks, I think the longest stretch was 4.5 hours?

umm I slept from about 11-3 when DS woke up, then 3:30 to 8am. So 4.5 hours?
