Week Two: Update

Heyyoooo!

    It's been two weeks since we started transitioning little miss into her crib. Well, technically two weeks and two days. So far it has been an interesting ride. We're definitely not having any consistancy in how she sleeps, when she wakes up, how long it takes her to go down, how often she wakes up at night or anything that really helps to keep your sanity while transitioning. I'm hoping that this all just straightens out over time. I'm sure I'm creating bad habits (rocking to groggy/ asleep and sometimes nursing to sleep) but I also can't stay up and fight her either as we have an almost rigid schedule. 4am comes mighty early and getting home so late in the evening doesn't help things. I hate to put her to bed even earlier than she is because we only get about an hour together when we get home 4 nights a week but it might end up coming to that if something doesn't give.


Anyway, on to some good news. Apparently she knew that I was exhausted and I needed rest.  So, on her two week crib-iversary she fell asleep at 9:40pm and slept until 4:40am. 7 whole hours! Then she fell back asleep at 5:10am until 8:45. She knew I really needed it. Thanks baby girl! <3  It really is the small things when you get excited about only being woken up once or twice a night! LOL  Yay for Small victories.
