Miranda's first night in her crib!


It was harder for me than her!
She is still sleeping!

I have been battling with Michael about this for weeks, actually probably well over a month. He has wanted his room back. (read: his wife back). Its a great reason/excuse with her in the room and I didn't want to budge.

I got it all ready, moving all her comforts into her room. I felt like it was an end of an era. She is no longer this helpless newborn. I am no longer Breastfeeding (thank God) so there is no need to have her so close. Now she is an infant, a baby we let cry it out. A baby that tells us what's wrong. I am not ready for this. Gosh, I am so typical! Michael would tell me that this is a sign that we are ready for another baby! ...uhhh......No!

She had her bath and took her final bottle and went right to sleep. I didn't want it to be that easy. I wanted her to need to sleep by me. I wanted her to fight it, but no. She is ready for independence. Or maybe the mattress is more comfortable than the pad in the bassinet...

Anyways, she woke up once, like always and instead of waking when we do at 7.30am, she is still sleeping and its past 9.30! I got so much done already! This may not be all bad.

This is hard...Why can't she stay small?
