sleep patterns

in addition to consistently sleeping from 7pm to 10pm after her bath and bedtime routine, madeline has recently started regularly sleeping through the night. she has made it through until at least 5am for the last nine nights, and six of these all the way to 6:30/7am. we couldn't be more thrilled.

now i just need to get back into the habit of doing this myself: the first time she slept through, i was wide awake at 4:30am, and after staring at the clock for about thirty minutes, ended up going downstairs to express (american translation: pump) some milk. last night i was up at the same time, getting a glass of water. she has me well trained!
