I was at the doctor's today and she seemed to think that waking every two hours was completely normal. I guess that's reassuring. Apparently her children were up and feeding every two hours until 18 months. On the one hand, it's nice to know he's normal. On the other hand, wow. Another year of this sounds really, really tiring, especially when I head back to work in a few months. It was a good reminder that he has perfectly valid reasons for wanting to nurse other than food; I just hope he exercises that desire a little less frequently.

Anyway, I'm probably totally jinxing myself, but I do think my little plan may be working a little. We went out last night to a rock concert, and LM slept from 8 until we went got home around midnight. My mother was just thrilled at what an "angel" he'd been. And after that I got another four and a half hour stretch - that hasn't happened in months! Wouldn't you know it, I was awake for the last hour of it, wondering how long he'd go... And I still got a little cuddle in the bed for a couple of hours in the morning too.

I promise to TRY not to make my next post about sleep. Really.
