New Sleeping Arrangements

Finally.

Noah is out of the bassinet & into his crib. The first night was rough because we tried to test his reflux issue & have him sleep flat without an incline. It didn't work so well, he was up every two hours or so & obviously uncomfortable. The second night we put the mattress on a slight incline & he was back to his regular sleeping pattern & much happier.


Owen moved into his toddler bed last night. He was really excited about the cars bed, & he slept all night without asking to get in bed with us. I think his sleep was a little more restless, but he didn't wake up. Had he asked to sleep in our bed we would have let him & not pushed the issue. It was so strange to not have Owen in bed to snuggle up to, it was actually harder on us than him, we had trouble falling asleep. Throughout the night I would wake up & have to fight the urge to put him back in bed with us! Anyway, we are happy that he had a good night & napped well today, plus for the first time in a year & a half it was just the two of us in the bed. So much more room to stretch out!


Both boys are still in our bedroom, so our room is still very crowded. We plan on moving them to their own room once Noah starts sleeping through the night regularly. They will likely share a room, we think it will be easier for Owen that way, plus we can use the extra space for as long as possible.

All good steps! They both look so cute in their own beds.

Nice -- we're trying out our big girl bed tonight for the first time...we'll see! Hope it goes as well for us as it did for you.
