so, ja's alarm went off at 6:37 this morning, and after a brief panic thinking i lost the baby under the covers, i realized, HE HADN'T BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!!!! wow! and, even better, i slept right through too! usually i'm up a few times even when the kids do sleep through, so this was amazing! i truly give oursheepskin most of the credit for this! as soon as gramma gave it to us, ephraim started sleeping for long stretches. then he was sick, threw up on it, and we just cleaned it. during that brief time when we didn't have it, he was up every two hours!

on the downside, he thought it was time to get up and play at 6:30 this morning.
