Last night at 11:30 Emily was WIDE awake. I was exhausted and ready for bed, but she was sure that it was time to party. Finally, I handed her to Jacob (who was still up and working on something on his computer) and told him that I was going to try to catch a little bit of sleep, and that he could pass her off to me (if she was still awake) when he was ready for bed. I also mentioned that, if she got cranky, he could feel free to give her a bottle. Several minutes later I remember hearing her start to cry, and Jacob heating up a bottle.
That was the LAST thing I remember before I woke up this morning at 6 AM!! That's right... I got SIX uninterrupted hours of sleep! I woke up in a bit of a panic when I realized that I hadn't gotten up at all to feed Em, and that Jacob wasn't in bed. I found them curled up together on the couch in the living room, an empty bottle on the floor beside them.
My awesome husband had taken ALL of the night feedings, allowing me to get some much needed sleep! Sure, I was hard as a rock and leaking all over the place, lol, but I SOOO appreciated the extras ZZZs.
Now I just hope he doesn't regret when he's trying to work today...

Aww that's sweet of him! That's the only problem when they do start sleeping for longer stretches while breastfeeding, rock hard boobs.
