Going to say this very very quietly.....
No! I am not pregnant! haha! 
But Emily finally slept through last night! After 7 months of night feeds and having to get up every few hours, she finally slept for 12.5 hours!! Unfortunately i had a rubbish sleep as i was just waiting for her to wake up!
On Monday my hv told me that at 7 months she no longer needs a night feed as she should be getting all her nutrients during the day. So, when Emily woke up at 11pm for a feed, i just offered her water. She wasn't happy so i let her cry for a little while. I timed it the whole time and every time i went to go and get her, she went quiet again. Then five mins later she would cry again! Each burst of crying only lasted about 5 minutes. Eventually after 1.5 hours of her being unsettled, she fell asleep and woke up at 7am.
So last night i put her down at 7pm and she slept through until 7.30am!! I am amazed and keeping my fingers crossed incase it was just a fluke!
Sorry to Morello, Em7 and the other ladies whose babies are still keeping them up
Hopefully they will give you a break soon! I am so knackered after 7 months of sleep deprivation (actually longer due to spd) that i had to share!

Long may it continue for you guys xx
Only joking
Yay for you and Emily!!!
Hope this continues for you, and yes I did think you were going to announce a bfp!
Fingers crossed it was not a one off and you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight yourself x
Well it wasn't a one off and last night Emily slept from 7pm until 8am!! Not a peep out of her all night! I really hope it continues, although i am feeling a bit more refreshed, so if she does wake up i will be able to handle it better

I've got to get him to go through as I have until the 9th of october and then me and hubbie (should he ever come home from playing soldiers??) are having a night out with friends and a night in a hotel!!!!! Exciting and scarey stuff..........and you watch if all goes well i'll just be getting used to the sleep and then find out that said night in hotel got me bloody pregnant pmsl
Emily fingers crossed he'll be ok but if not part two of your self help guide will be much needed lol xx
Fingers crossed it works! The first night or two will be really difficult but you have to stick with it and not give in. I was nearly in tears the first night and kept thinking that if i just fed her she would go straight to sleep
Oh a night out sounds fun! I am very jealous!
I will get Emily to make a start on that second part, just incase! But you never know Ethan may suprise you
Hope emily is still doing well with her sleeping through? xxx
Emily is doing ok, she hasn't needed a night feed for a couple of weeks now but she still wakes most nights for a few mins because she is teething. I just need to give her a teething powder and she goes back down until 7/8am!
