Sleep, Baby, Sleep
We decided to start putting Braden to sleep in his crib on Monday night. It has only been 3 nights, but he is doing great. The first night was a little rough, he was getting up alot, but that was usual to what he was doing before. The only difference is, I have to get out of bed and walk across the house. But, it is much more comfortable to feed him in the glider than in bed. And he has a little night light in there, so I can see him without it being too bright. The last 2 nights have been great. I think it helps Jeff and I sleep better. I don't feel like if I move in bed, it will wake him up. And the video monitor is a must. All I have to do is roll over and see him, I don't have to sit up and look into the bassinet. It's great. He is so sweet. This morning (about 6:30) he just woke up and was entertaining himself. He wasn't upset, just talking and looking around. I watched him on the monitor for about 15 minutes (so fun)! Then he started his "ahhh", like "come and get me". So I went in there and started talking to him and he just started smiling away. Ugh...melted my heart. That was the BEST! He is such a sweetheart. If everyday could be like last night, I will be a happy mama! We put him down at 10:30, he didn't wake up to eat again until 3:45am, then again at 6:30 (but didn't want to eat until 7:00ish). I just wanted to share and let everyone know the nights are getting better. I probably just jinxed myself, but I hope not. :)

Way to go! I think this will be great for all of you! I don't know how people do it without a video monitor! I would be getting up every thirty minutes if that was the case. Maybe I'm just paranoid ;)
hooray! sounds like he is a sweet baby boy and I cannot wait to meet him. and sleep is key so I am glad he is doing so well!
