Two nights in a row
Two nights in a row we've gotten what we consider to be amazing nights of sleep.
Gus slept through the night because he wasn't startled awake by hour-long fits of Eli crying.
John and I got three- to four-hour stretches in. The secret in making sure Eli does not have a six=hour crying, painful stretch seems to have everything to do with what I eat.
My list of things to avoid has grown, and I did enjoy eating the foods while I could...but sleep and a comfortable baby are a bigger pull than eating.
No chocolate.
No tomatoes (which are in half of my favorite condiments, argh).
No onions.
No garlic.
No strawberries.
No citrus (ok, Jenn, so I gorged on lemon bars...they were so awesome! I'll need the recipe in, oh, a year.)
No red peppers.
Potentially no pineapple and white fish...I'll have to test those again.
I'm just thankful that wheat, dairy and soy seem ok. So far.

Oh man, I hope this list doesn't grow to include guatemalan fried chicken! Date night will be altered!
