Co-Sleeping
So... I decided I needed to post another blog tonight. We co-sleep. This was not our original intentions but it ended up happening. Like I said in the previous post, my daughter is the most important person in my life... with that being said. I am paranoid as hell about everything! So when she was about 4 months old, we moved her out of our room bassinet... to her own room in a crib. From then on, I couldn't sleep. I would wake up 14 times a night and go make sure she was still breathing... I'd realize she was fine, go back to sleep for 10 minutes and go check on her again. After 2 months of this and after I fell asleep at work, while on hold with a vendor... I finally told my husband "I am desperate for some sleep, please let her sleep in here with me, so I can rest well" and after what was the best nights sleep in my life. She stayed! Every night for the past 17 months in our Queen size bed, between us! I love it but my husband hates it! (She kinda likes to kick him alot, lol) So I promised him we would work on getting her to sleep in her own bed. So we got her a toddler bed and she loves it!! But she only makes it about half the night in her bed, before coming to sleep with us. Which I know is better than nothing. But since she has started to sleep some in her bed, I am back to NOT sleeping... So this my friends is why at 3:21 am when I should be sleeping, especially since my alarm will be sounding in about 2 hours, I am awake! Creating a blog about who knows what?!? Waiting and hoping she will wake up soon and come to bed, so that I can get some zzzz's.
