  • King Archer and the Nights of the (not so) Sound Fable

     

    Monday night was our first tough night and to be fair to Fable, it wasn't even that bad. Two hours of sporadic crying before she passed out was all -- but after more than two weeks of seamless nights (Fable's feeding every three hours but at night goes every four) I absolutely didn't mind. In fact, I was starting to feel guilty for my nights being so easy.

     Fable: professional sleeper 

     

    What most shocked me, though, was that when Fable cried out at 2am? Archer didn't wake up. He didn't wake up at 3am or 4am either, even though our bedrooms are attached (Fable's sleeping with us for the time being and will likely stay with us until she's six-months, which is what we did with Archer.) Several times I checked on Archer through the commotion and there he was, passed the eff out like a drunk. 

     

    I had been worried that this was not so much going to be the case. Archer, after all, has always been a light sleeper. So much in fact that we don't usually flush the toilet when he's sleeping out of fear it will wake him. (Gross but quite necessary.) Now? We can flush again! PRAISE JEEBS!
