Pros and Cons of a Baby who sleeps well.

I've recently found myself unable to decide whether or not it's a good thing that Danny sleeps so well. On the one hand, I have been getting a lot more sleep than I did with Phillip. But on the other hand, going so long at a time without nursing has convinced my body to start menstruating again. I'm really happy for Danny! He wakes up happy and it just lights up my day to see him smile. But seriously, I thought I would be able to make it longer than six weeks before getting my period. I thought that was supposed to be one of the perks of breast feeding. I should have expected it though. With Phillip, I got it back around nine weeks postpartum. But he took an entire month to start latching on and didn't eat well, so I wasn't very surprised. This time around really was a surprise for me though. Danny has been a great little "sucker" ever since he was born. He eats a TON and has gained about five pounds already. I honestly thought I was going to luck out. Has anyone else had this happen? It just seems unfair! Perhaps even more frustrating than just having my period back, is that now I have to worry about getting pregnant again. Grrrrr. I miss the worry-free days!!!
