No. No. No.

Each night, Jean feeds Adam late in the evening and goes to bed. Adam and I hang out downstairs, and it's up to me to get him to sleep. This can happen quickly or slowly, on a blanket or in the bouncy seat, happily or with much complaining, but no matter what's going on downstairs, it's time for Jean to rest.

When Adam finally falls asleep, I lay down on the couch and sleep until he wakes up to be fed again. For a long time, this was a three hour nap. Then it started getting a little longer.

The last two nights, Adam has slept for five hours straight during our downstairs time.

Each of the last two nights, Jean has come down after four hours and forty-five minutes to ask if everything is all right.

GAAAHHHH!!!

Don't blame Jean. Blame the damn hormones. They "F" you over every time. But lucky for her, she will slowly be able to sleep longer without waking. But when you do wake up, you don't have a choice and you have to go and see. It's a sick, sick obsession. (I'm the only one who doesn't get a full nights sleep!)
Keep it up! Soon you'll be up to Harry standards of sleep... :)
