His Own Bed

I can't believe I haven't posted the big news until today: BLAINE SLEEPS IN HIS OWN BED IN HIS OWN ROOM AT NIGHT NOW!! I figured a weekend and week that Nick was in town was the best time to transition Blaine from the Pack-in-Play bassinette he had been in beside my bed, to his own crib in the nursery. That way I could get over my fear of the baby monitor. ;) (don't ask but I have some weird fear of hearing ghosts through the monitor...TOO many scary shows and movies over the years...WHY did my mom let me watch that stuff?! It ruined me for life!!!)

It has been going great but there is a moment right before I fall asleep that I REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLY miss him! And then I send Nick over to the nursery to make sure he is breathing. LOL.

So yeah, last Saturday we "made the move" and it has been great. This age was a good age to do it because he is on a very predictable waking schedule. 2 AM and 5 AM regardless of when he ate last. One night he went from 7 pm - 2 am without eating (yipee) but most nights it is more like 9 pm - 2 am. Can't wait until he outgrows the 2 am thing, but for now, I ain't complaining. :)

Congrats! I'm so scared to move our baby from the co-sleeper to the crib across the house. :( Our schedules are sounding similar too...I no longer get the 11-4 sleep time every night. Boo.
