I just had my best night of sleep yet. I can't believe how much sleep I got. I am surprised because Kaelynn slept almost all day yesterday. Some of my college friends were in town and we met them at Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. Then we went to play indoor golf. I had never done that and it was actually a lot of fun even though I was horrible. Actually worse then horrible. I think the furthest I hit the ball was 40 yards and that was when we were close to the green and it went over. We played as couples alternating shots so luckily I had Sean to help me out. We were still the worst team by far but you can look at it another way. We got the most for our money because we got to play the most! Anyway, Kaelynn slept through lunch and then though most of the golf game (which took over 3 hours to play 9 holes). She had slept for almost 6 hours with a couple of quick feedings in there. So I was expecting a bad night. I put her down at about 11:30. I woke up really confused in during the night. I thought it was morning and I thought I had already fed her once. The more I thought about it though I realized I hadn't fed her at all which explained why I was so uncomfortable. It was 5 in the morning. That means she went for 5 and a half hours! So I got her up and fed her and then I had to pump because I had a lot of milk! I went back to bed expecting her to get up again in an hour or two and the next think I knew it was 9:30 in the morning. That means she slept almost 10 hours with one quick feeding. I hope she continues to do this. They say breastfed babies shouldn't go more then 4 hours but as long as she is gaining weight OK I think I will let her go a little longer if she is sleeping. The only problem is that I start getting pretty uncomfortable around the 4 hour mark so I can't let her go too long. I am just grateful for the extra sleep!
It was good to see my college friends. My friend Stephanie is about 17 or 18 weeks pregnant. I also found out my friend Sara is 10 weeks pregnant. A year ago none of us had kids and now we all seem to be starting families! It will be a lot of fun to get together in the future with kids around the same age. In the past we have done things like go on cruises and trips to Vegas so that might not happen any more but we will still have a good time!

There's nothing like waking up in the middle of the night. Engorged and/or soaked. Let her sleep. She won't starve!
Hoe's the pump working for you?
