In da krib

Good morning Evie!

Sorry about the silly post title- inside family joke. ;) Well, we transitioned Evie to her crib this weekend- she did so well!! It went a lot smoother than I expected it to. She wasn't up every hour, she didn't cry or flip out- she took it all in stride. Friday and Saturday night she went to bed a little later than usual, so she ended up only waking once, which was a welcome change. Last night she was up twice, which is is pretty much where we've been at (excluding the horrible last two weeks we've had where she was up 3-4 times a night). I was honestly hoping that moving her to her own room would encourage sleeping through the night- a lot of people had told me that their baby slept through the night their first night in the crib! While that wasn't the case for us, I'm glad it wasn't a traumatizing experience- for either of us. ;)

I will admit that I took it a little harder than I expected though. We've always known Evie would sleep in her own room, and I actually anticipated that we'd move her sooner. But with her getting up so often at night, I was too lazy to have to get out of bed to comfort/feed her. Eric and I are ready to have our room back, and we know that it's the right thing for all of us, but the first night I hardly slept! I was worrying about her being alone, about her sleeping, about how this was just another sign that my baby girl is growing up!! :( It was strange not to have her next to my bed. I missed her.

But, ultimately we'll all sleep better, and I know it's the right thing for us. Now, to start sleeping through the night. Mommy's ready for that milestone any day now Evie!! ;)
