We are making progress!

Madelyn has been sleeping in our bed since she was born because she had reflux and I was terrified she was going to choke to death on it. That goes back to my fear of losing another baby. I always wanted her to be close to me because like I mentioned I was/am so afraid that I'm going to wake up and she'd be gone.

Well we got a bassinet and put it in our room. We've tried putting her in it but she would wake up at 3 or 4, but when she would sleep with us she would usually sleep until 6:30! I liked me sleep so I decided to just let her sleep in our bed. The thing is now she's getting big enough to squirm around. The other night I laid her down length wise and during the night she squirmed enough that she was diagonal with her feet in my back kicking me all night! So last night I decided it was time to put her in the bassinet once again and this time I would keep her there! I also missed cuddling with my hubby and wanted my bed back!

I was so excited when I woke up with her that it was light in the room! That's right my baby slept in her bed until 6:15!!!!!! After that I let her sleep with us until she was ready to wake up at 10. I am so proud of my baby!

I left Greg sleep with us too for a about the same length of time or him and I would sleep on the couch. It was hard to put him in the cradle, but he adjusted well and now he is in his big boy crib. She sounds like she is such a good sleeper. Gotta love that.
Oh and I am sure that Holger was excited, I know that Matt was.
