Coming out of the Closet
Jan 06, 2012
Before you think I am about to reveal some well-kept secret, I’m not!
Don’t really have any secrets right now.
But…
Sweet Pea has come out of the closet!!
The first night she was home I could hardly sleep because of her constant noises through the night. The next night I put her in our vented, walk-in master bedroom closet and that is where she has slept every night since.
She starts out in her bedroom, but then once Dave feeds her at 11:30 he moves her to our closet where she sleeps the remainder of the night.
I had every intention that Sweet Pea was going to be moved to her own bedroom WAY earlier than Little Bug was!
Well, that didn’t happen. Sweet Pea actually didn’t move until a month later than I moved her sister!
It just didn’t feel “right” until we got home from spending a few days at my parents’ house this past week.
So, Tuesday night I told Dave that I had set the monitor up and he could just leave Sweet Pea in her bedroom after he fed her at 11:30.
I didn’t sleep well at all that night, but Sweet Pea certainly did!
It took me forever to go to sleep and then I didn’t sleep deep because I am always afraid I won’t hear them when they are in their bedrooms (even though I know I will).
So, no more closet-sleepers in this house.
Next up will be moving her to her actual crib instead of the inclined sleeper she has been in since birth. It doesn’t feel “right” yet to move her out of it, so I will just wait until I feel it is time.
