Oh my gosh, the hardest day of my life was Wednesday, December 28th. That was the day my little boy spent the first night in his crib in his own room. It absolutely broke my heart and I had no idea it would be that hard. Now that he is 8 weeks, we were encouraged from our Pediatrician that now was a good time to make the transition into his own room so he can learn good sleeping habits and can work on putting himself to sleep. Sure, sounds logical right? No. If I had my way he would sleep in my room until he is 20! I loved having him in his pack and play right next to my bed where I can peek in on him at any time. And just to watch him for a bit if I wake up in the middle of the night.
We did his normal bedtime routine and then I put him in his bed and he went right to sleep. I kinda hoped he would cry and scream as if to say, "no mommy, I'm not ready for this. Take me with you." ... but he didn't. He went right to bed and looked as peaceful as ever. And I just sat over his crib and looked at him and bawled my eyes out. Blake had to come in and escort me out of the room then cuddled with Mommy to make her feel better as I cried. I don't think I have ever been up as much! Every single noise I heard I raced into his room to see what it was. And sure enough, he was sleeping peacefully as the last time I raced in there. I still like to nap with him (see 2 pics Blake snapped of us below) and I am sad that our time together in my room is gone ... it all went too fast and it breaks my heart. I may still need to have him in my room for a slumber party now and then ... that's ok right????
I love you baby Braxy....stop growing up so fast, Mommy needs you to be her baby awhile longer.
