New Strides

Grace slept in her crib last night for the first time! She has been in our room in her bassinet this whole time until Tuesday night we moved her into her room but she still slept in the bassinet. Yesterday she took a nap in her crib also. We have had her in our room as long as we have because the Doctor said we may want to wait till she is 8 weeks old to move her out especially with all her reflux problems and spitting up, (I was concerned she might spit up a lot at night). (This is better by the way, we still have the crib slightly elevated like we did the bassinet and we keep her upright after meals for a while.) and with her room being upstairs and we are down stairs. Adam and I was also concerned she may not sleep well in her room because our room is a lot darker and her room has a lot of light coming through the window during the day and then the street light at night. She also likes to look around at everything a lot in her room. Even her mobile and a lot of things in there are stimulation to her! Anyways, we had to get rid of some of the light and she has done really good so far. Last night she slept from midnight till 8:40am this morning. She is also taking her second nap today in the crib now. It felt really weird moving her out of our room. We had gotten so used to her being there. Tuesday and Wednesday night Adam and I slept upstairs in the guest bedroom just to "feel closer" to her but last night we made the leap to sleep back downstairs in our room! LOL Adam went to put up the bassinet last night since it is no longer needed and he said "it feels like we are turning a chapter in Grace's life!" I said "yea", "you can say that"!

I believe the site is about to go down for maintenance. I will post a couple of pictures from the other day.
