don't jinx it

i haven't wanted to say anything about it yet in case talking about it makes it go away. however i'm feeling a little more confident today. for about a month now percy has been sleeping nearly every night thru!! yiipppeeee! this is a real cause for celebration (never mind birthdays!) or close enough to 'sleeping thru' for me to call it that.
she started about ten days before easter and has kept it up pretty well since. we've occasionally given her a 'dream feed'- a bottle feed of milk with her still mostly alseep in her cot anywhere between 9pm and 10:30pm. we judge this by how much milk she drank in her "good nite" bottle and whether she wakes up by 10:30 or not. if she drank a lot; more than 150mls, we let her be, if less we'll give her the dream feed.
i think twice she had woken up in the early hours and needed some help to go back to sleep. the night before last being a case in point- wake at 3:30am, not back to sleep until 4:30am. that can be attributed to having a cold with the inability to breathe thru her nose. last nite, despite the cold she slept from 7pm to 7am, well 6am given daylight saving change.
the change in our life has been profound. there is nothing like sleep deprivation to destroy your life. seemingly tho i have lost the ability to fall quickly and deeply asleep and stay that way. i seem to wake often thru the nite, have ridiculous dreams and generally not feel rested. we'll line up sleeping between the whole family one day soon!
cross fingers that i haven't jinxed percy's sleeping...
