Jack has slept through the night for the past week or so and it is just incredible how good it feels not to be woken up three times a night anymore!
Like I said a while back, I intended to wean Jack by the time he turned two. Well he was two on Sunday and guess what? I haven't weaned him yet... although I have reduced the number of feeds significantly and am now only letting him breastfeed first thing in the morning, around lunch-time, tea-time and bed-time. And not at all during the night anymore!!! Yippee...
But, sleep... what is it good for?
Well after a quick google I discovered that sleep:
- Boosts your immunity
- Makes you smarter
- Helps you look better
- Increases concentration
- Makes you a nicer person

Already I couldn't agree more!
Physically I feel much better; I'm learning lots of new stuff for the company Stan and I have created, my skin is improving (I broke out in a rash of angry teenage-style acne last week!), I've been busily hammering away on my website adding over 40 pregnancy pages to it in just the last three or four days and I'm not feeling so angry and resentful towards people who disagree with me!
All that after just about a week of catching up. And perhaps the best thing is that I am now sleeping long enough to have the most amazing dreams, meaning I waken up feeling totally refreshed and alive!!
I can't wait to see how good it feels after six months!
