Last night, we decided to move Everett to the nursery at night because I have been getting ZERO sleep. Instead of sleeping, I lay awake and watch him at all hours of the night, stirring at his every wimper and gurgle and grunt (and Everett is an extremely noisy sleeper). So, after the previous night of dreadful sleep, I decided it was time.
I immediately saw a big difference in both of us. I no longer was afraid to change into my PJ's or brush my teeth, afraid of waking him in our room. I no longer had to tiptoe around or felt like I couldn't do anything but quietly lay in bed without moving a muscle. He seemed to really like it as well. He slept like a champ last night - in 4 hour increments three times in a row! And better yet, mommy even slept!! Without him in our room, I was free to squirm around to get comfortable, and I kept the volume on the monitor low enough that his grunts and groans didn't keep me awake. I honestly feel like a new woman today. Praise God!
