Jinx

Ok, I don't really beleive in jinxes or knocking on wood, but I am not sure how else to explain this. Murphy's law? Anyway, Gemma is sleeping through the night, most of the time. But I was too scared to say anything because I didn't want to jinx it. All last week I would whisper to myself 'She's sleeping through the night'... Well, on Friday I finally told some people, 'Gemma is sleeping through the night.' You can probably guess where this story is going.

At 2am on Friday night she woke up. Like completely up. Crying screaming when we tried to put her back to sleep. So I was letting her play in the living room and I laid down on the couch. At one point I must have dozed off, and Chris came out for a study break and noticed something on her face. She had found a whole bag of candy and chocolate, and had eaten through the wrappers. All around her mouth was a chocolaty ring, and she was grinning ear to ear. Stinker! After all that sugar it really isn't a surprise that she didn't fall asleep until 5am. We haven't had a night like that since she was a newborn.

Saturday night and last night were awesome again. Fingers crossed, knock on wood, throw some salt over my left shoulder, find a penny pick it up...

Hehe, I totally can relate to your paranoia of vocalizing the whole sleeping through the night bit! Last night Emma was sick, and we had a night like she had back when she was a newborn -- ugh.
