Two Night in a Row!

I know, sister you are probably, most likely, sitting there saying, "I told you so."

My sister advised (many times) that if E slept in her own room she would sleep longer and possibly through the night. She said E knew she was in our room and it was possible that we were all waking each other up at night.

See, we had her crib in our room. Yeah, I know. She's almost a year old and is completely fine to sleep in her bedroom. I don't really think that this is my issue though. The crib was originally put there to make room for Grandma when she came to stay for a while. Then, one thing led to the next and it just seemed easier to go only a couple steps to grab her and breastfeed her in my bed.

Little did I realize it was only a quick fix. I was maybe saving a few winks of sleep but in reality I was still waking up 4-5 times a night to breastfeed; when she really didn't even need to eat and was just looking for nurturing. There for, loosing sleep.

So, I made a honey "dew" list for Ryan and he moved the crib on Sunday.

For the first time, in a long time, Edee slept more than 5 hours. Two nights in a row! Hip Hip HOORAY! Yes, I am shouting at the top of my lungs. Sunday night she fussed at 5:30 AM and when I woke up feeling brand spankin' new I didn't mind waking up to tend to her! She then slept tile 7:30! Then Monday night she only woke up once again and slept til 8 AM!

I feel rejuvenated, happy and awake. I believe Ryan feels the same.

All though, I did have a moment of weakness when climbing into bed that first night; Edee felt so far away, the long awaited move was completely worth it. We are all feeling the benefits already. I hope she continues on this path and will soon sleep through the night.
