Guess who slept through his dressing change until 2:30am (when we woke him up to eat) and then from 3:30am-7:00am (when we woke him up to eat) and then again from 8:15am-10:00am?
He did. Guess who's feeling like a brand new person?
ME!!!

YAY!!!!!!! Amazing what a little sleep will do!!! You guys are doing great!
Wonderful news Patrice, just give Jonah time and he will sleep longer. Just takes time to get into a routine and his is a little more involved than a healthy baby. Beautiful picture, love his blue eyes. So glad you are feeling better. Continuing to pray that evey day will get better for all of you and that Jonah continues to surprise you in good ways.
Yippee! Sleep - glorious sleep... I am sure you do feel like a new woman! So glad he is doing well... What a beautiful and precious little boy! Blessings from Indiana - Nicole
Why to go Jonah. Praying that you continue to get amazing sleep so that mommy continues to get her much needed sleep and daddy. What a difference a good sleep does for you.
Nothing better than peaceful sleep and a happy baby.
Within one week of us bringing our son home, he slept through his midnight feeding (was a fluc). I woke up in an absolute panic. I hadn't slept that well since month 5 of pregnancy.
Please keep the pics and stories coming. We are cheering you on.
I am from Pfafftown (now live in Richmond). I found one of those crazy light up spinner toys that our audiologist uses. I will either drop it off at your church or in the mail to your PO box. Hope it helps when you need a distraction.
Go JONAH! He is the MAN!! He was just messing with you. I'm glad you got a good rest and hope you have many many many more restful night. GO JONAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LinMarie
YAY!! Having lived through baby-induced sleep deprivation, I can relate to how beautiful it is to get a couple of solid hours of sleep strung together!
What a beautiful little angel! I'm so happy to hear about your great night. Sleep is wonderful! I'm praying that the rest of your day and tonight goes as well.
Yipppeee for SLEEP! I have SO been there so I know exactly how you feel today. Praise God! Enjoy your feeling of feeling refreshed my friend. Sweet boy with those Ginormous (I LOVE that word!) blue eyes. They just sparkle.
clemson12 What a great treat he gave you. Glad you were able to get some much needed rest. I just want you to know that I think you are a truly amazing mommy and woman of God! Hope you have a Happy Tuesday!
I can just feel your happiness from reading your words! I am so happy that you got some sleep, doesn't it make a difference? Jonah is such a sweetie, that picture is so sweet!
You are an amazing family!! I have been following your blog for some time now and have been praying for your precious little boy, Jonah! Keep shining for King Jesus!
That picture is too much! He is just precious. I can't believe he slept through his bandage change. That is is so great for you. I bet you do feel like a whole new person!
YAY!! That's wonderful - for both him & mom! And you've got love those blue eyes:). You'll be in my thoughts & prayers tomorrow as you remember Gabe:).
He is SO CUTE!!!!! I will gladly take him off your hands, even for 10 mins! So glad that you feel like a new person! That is the answer to prayer. I knew it would happen. Just not when. So glad to hear the happiness in your "voice" on the post! Still praying you along! Jennifer in Southeast, NC
Your precious little Jonah and your blog following Jonah's miraculous journey can just leave me in awe of God's wonderful Hand in everything we do. Thank you for sharing your awesome, trying journey!
YAY for sleep!!!!!Glad to hear you all are getting into a routine. A little sleep can make a HUGE difference. Continuing to pray for you all!!! God is so good!!
I always joke that I don't even know my own name the first 8 weeks or so after a baby comes home - but once you get even a couple of hours of extra sleep, you become a functioning person again!
Well, I guess all those prayers are helping,huh? So glad you are ALL getting some rest, you deserve it! Hope tonight goes just as well! Love from Mexico, Missy
I know you posted in an earlier post worrying about scarring on the face from the blisters. Let me assure you that babies are AMAZING on how well their skin will heal! My daughter was 18 months old when she pulled a lamp down by the cord on her. She was stuck between the china dome shaped shade and the bulb and got a terrible big awful burn and blister on her full cheek. I was horrified and knew that I had allowed her to be scarred for life be being so careless that she got behind a table. Long story short... she healed beautifully and within a short amount of time you would have never known we went through the whole ordeal! So don't worry...Jonah is beautiful and his face will heal beautifully from his blisters also. Keep up the good work! I love reading your upbeat attitude in a situation that could really pull you down.
Like I have said before, those baby blues are going to break alot of hearts someday. Thanks for sharing them with us!! Praying for a healing Love to you all Gina
My 6 year old daughter has announced, after seeing pics of Jonah, that she wants a baby brother just like him. Especially with blue eyes. We are constantly thinking of you...
Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!! What a baby doll!! That face is beautiful! And I want to also comment about your post "not (entirely)about Jonah". I am sure you should not feel pressured to write the "obligatory daily post". It surely should not be a burden to you. It should be a blessing to you and your family. But know that what you have done has been a blessing in showing forth God and giving an example to countless others the beauty of your faith and of the gift of God to you in Jonah. I for one, pray daily for you all and even what you might consider the most mundane post, blesses my day in seeing what the Lord is doing there. So if it is a blessing to you to write a post, it will be a blessing to those that read it. "Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together." Psalm 34:3 Hugs!
