Zoe slept in crib overnight!

I decided to see if Zoe would sleep in her crib instead of the bassinet of our bed tonight. Let me just say that I was such a mess! Zoe didn't seem to mind at all that she was in her own room and in her own bed. I set up the monitor so that I could watch her every move (or lack thereof) and I was literally staring at the monitor all night!!! I really really missed having her in our room. I LOVE co-sleeping with her and really missed the security we all felt by being in the same room and better yet, in the same bed. But alas, all good things must come to an end. As much as I wanted her to be by my side FOREVER, I know that she has to learn to be independent as well. We've been working up to this night by taking naps in the crib so that she gets used to the atmosphere. Like I said, she did great. It was mommy that didn't do so great. I hardly slept and was constantly looking at the monitor to make sure she was ok. Finally, at around 3:30 or 4 am, she woke up a little bit because she couldn't find her pacifier. I took this opportunity to take her out of her crib and put her back next to me and Mike =). I figured she already "experienced" sleeping on her own and that I could bring her back to our bed ... hey -- don't judge! Baby steps, right?! Anyway, I don't know if I'll be putting her to sleep there every night with my surgery coming up. I think it might be a little difficult for me to get up from bed from time to time (whenever -- if ever -- she cries) so I may just delay the process ... having her stay in our room for a few more weeks won't hurt, right? I'm proud of you baby girl! Now mommy just needs to get it together already ... =)
