2 Nights of sleep, what a treat!

My sister in-law came to stay with us for a couple of days, mostly to visit Alex and help me out. It was the best two days I've had in a long time; visiting with her and definitely the sleep.
She insisted on looking after Alex through the night so I could get some sleep. She had been planning to do that ever since she found out I was at the hospital suffering from exhaustion and anxiety.
The first night I slept (and I mean slept!) near nine hours and last night I slept six! IT WAS WONDERFUL! Alex and I just woke up from a two hour nap and I feel completely refreshed. I wish all new mothers were as lucky as me. It's nice to have all kinds of help but feedings through the night top all.
I honestly don't think anyone else would be so generous to ever offer us that kind of break, my sister in-law is pretty special. I truly can't thank her enough.
