Tonight is Laila's first night sleeping in her own bedroom! Up until this point she has been sleeping with her crib pressed up against my side of the bed, so this is a big change for the both of us. I'm nervous. I have some reservations because sometimes she wakes up in the night and just needs her pacifier put back in her mouth, and at about 4am she usually needs to come into bed with us to stay asleep. Both of these things are going to be a lot more of a pain now. Also, in the mornings sometimes she will let me sleep for another hour or half hour after I give her a bottle by just playing in her crib ... I don't think she will do this though if I am not right there for her to see. However, I am also kind of excited. My husband and I will have our room to ourselves now for the first time in nine months! Not only that, but I have been told that moving her into her own room might help her and me both sleep better. On her part she might sleep better because she won't be disturbed by Enzio and I turned about in our sleep or getting up to pee or waking up in the morning. On my part I won't be nearly as alert to every single little sound because she won't be right next to me. So.. we'll see how it goes.
We decided to do this now for two main reasons: 1) it is cool enough now that she doesn't need the AC that is located in my bedroom and 2) my mom bought us a video monitor because she felt like it was time for Laila to move to her own room and when I said I was nervous about not seeing her while she was sleeping (and by that I mean not being able to check up on her without opening her door and disrupting her) my mom was kind enough to buy us a video monitor.
I currently have the monitor right next to me while I sit in the living room and am enjoying looking at it to see what she is doing.
