Movin' Out...

Okay, so it's only 1 door away from our bedroom but Justin is officially in his own bedroom now."They" were right again. I've read and heard everywhere how much better you'll sleep with the baby in the crib (in his own room). I've tried (twice) to put him in his crib for the night but I always end up wussing out and pulling him back into the bassinet next to our bed. I just love looking over at him when he sleeps- it's the sweetest most comforting feeling. However, he is getting to be quite a noisy sleeper. For the past few nights he had been getting up and "fussing"/moving around at like 3am and 6am. I am a super light sleeper so it's not a good combo. As soon as I pop his ninny back in (sometimes more than a few times) he would fall back asleep. I've been just exhausted- my heart goes out to mom's with babies that don't sleep through the night right away. Last night he fell asleep at around 8:45 so I put him in his crib and promised I wouldn't take him out. Well to my utter amazement I woke up at 8:20am (he usually only sleeps until like 7:30) and there he was happy as could be- playing with his little hands in his crib. He slept almost 12 hours in his crib and I had a great, full night's sleep. I'm sure I'll get a little teary eyed packing up the bassinet but I think we're ready to official move on.
