When we went to Wellington (which, was amazing by the way. Another story for another time.) Audrey came down with a cold. She totally reversed any sleeping progress we had made and spiralled into a non-sleeping baby. Understandable.
When we got home she only continued to get worse. She got sicker and refused to sleep unless she was in our arms. Not my favorite. But I let it slide since she was pretty sick.
Then we realized her cold was much more serious. Audrey had the measles. She was waking every 45 minutes and had high fevers. It was rough, guys. Seriously rough.
After she got well, her sleeping stayed the same. She refused to sleep unless she was in our arms and I was at the end of my rope. I couldn't hang! We went to the Waikato Family Centre to get some help with Audrey's sleep patterns.
And you know what?
Audrey slept through the night last night. For the first time in her whole life.
HALLELUJAH!!!
Things have been getting better all this last week but last night really takes the cake! I'm starting to feel more like my normal self and get back into a routine. It is wonderful. Incredibly, gorgeously, wonderful.
I feel like I can breathe again.

P.S. -
If you have emailed me and I have not responded. I apologize. I stepped away from the blog and from my emails to breathe and recover from the recent events. I'm about to conquer the inbox and will get back to you soon!
It's so hard when they get sick like that (and measles- yipes!). It does throw them off their schedule (and into your arms, lap, bed...)! So glad she is feeling better and that you all are getting sleep. :)
