HOORAY!!!

We had an AWESOME night last night. It was a little crazy at first. I had run to target to try to get some stuff to make rudy a birthday dinner and cake I always thought when i heard children screaming through a store- "oh poor parents, how embarassing.... but why cant they make them stop crying?" Well, I learned. Poor parents is right but last night i felt bad for her. She was ready to be out of her carseat so laid her down and changed her, gave her her bottle, we played etc but i think her stomach was just out of wack still. She spit up alot yesterday although overall was in much better shape than she has been. Frustrated and emotional and about to have a breakdown right smack in the middle of the cake isle at target, i called rudy at work and told him "forget it, i tried to do dinner, but forget it, we're going out to eat."
So, we left target, none to soon for her or I. I think she just needed some mommy time and a little more food and that cured her of the fussies. She slept through most of dinner but seemed ready to get home by the end...
Now for the amazing part- She fell asleep on the car ride home....as usual and so when we got home i decided just to leave her in it. I told rudy i was going to take advantage of her sleeping and go to bed early (we're talking 9 oclock here) and he agreed. He said he'd just "nap" and and then when she woke up he would bring her to the living room with him until she was ready for bed bed. Fair enough- only at 3 am I woke up frantic (but rested) that she hadnt woken up for a feeding yet. I know she loves her car seat but something had to be terribly wrong. So, i woke rudy up and asked him if we should wake her to feed her and change her (im terrified she'll get a diaper rash). He checked her over in her seat and said she's still breathing and seems happy- lets just leave her. Blissfully, i rolled over and went back to sleep. Little did i know that rudy was nervous enough that he stayed up til 5:30 keeping an eye on her and then insisted he wake her to feed her. " she has to be starving" So he fed her, changed her and played til 6:30 and then she at a little more at 9:30 and slept til 11:30!!!!!!!!!! Thats my girl!!!! Mama is feeling well rested today for the first day in months! Hallelujah! Is it the soy milk? or is God just on my side??Who knows but I LOVE IT!
