So.....guess who has slept in his crib in his own room UPSTAIRS for the past 2 nights!? That's right, Oliver! YAY! He is 5 months old and we could have put him up in his own room a long time ago (especially since being off the TPN) but there is something so nice about having him with us all the time downstairs. However.....I just don't sleep as well and it is time for him to be in his own room so we finally bit the bullet and moved him up.
No surprise here but not only have we slept better but so has Oliver. His room is darker than ours and so that helps but it is also a lot more quiet. He doesn't have people walking into the room where he is sleeping, to get dressed or a crazy cat (Bella) walking around in his room "quacking".
The night before last (the first crib night), we turned off the lights to go to bed and were surprised at how dark our room was. It hadn't been that dark in 3 months due to the glowing of Oliver's feeding pump.....ah....heaven! I prefer total darkness and would put up blackout curtains if Owen would let me.....he likes the morning sun coming in. Ugh!
Oliver is always happy when he wakes up in the morning but the past 2 mornings he has been especially happy. I think it is because he is more rested and so that just makes for an even happier baby! And clearly that is good for everyone.
That is AMAZING!! Ah the joys of a restful sleep. What a big step Laura, hee hee :-) Love y'all! hope you can come visit soon!
