Sleeping in his crib, finally


Due to a drafty house, a poor heating system and being first time parents, Jake has been sleeping in a bassinet either in our room or in the hallway right outside our door.  We never needed a baby monitor and I never had to worry about any problems because he was always close by.  It is finally warm enough here, so Jake is sleeping in his own room, in his crib.  He looks so small and sad in it.


I have mixed feelings about this.  I am so used to him in the hallway, and his room seems so far away 
(it's only 5 more steps from where his bassinet was to his room).  I feel like something will happen so I won't hear it or be close enough.  I do have a baby monitor on, but it's not the same.  

But it's also time for him to sleep by himself and get used to sleeping in a crib.  He will eventually get to big for the bassinet anyway, so there's no reason not to move him now.  Hopefully he does well and sleeps like he usually does.  The only problem is, we don't have shades or blinds on his windows, so it's super bright.  When the sun comes up tomorrow, it might wake him up.  


Isn't the bedding super cute!  I really liked the monsters theme and went a little crazy with all the monsters stuff.  My amazing sister in law got this bedding set for my shower.  Sheets, a blanket, bumpers, and wall decorations were included!  Thanks Beth!

  1. Yay for sleeping in his crib with cute bedding! You're so welcome for your gift! I understand being worried as first time parents, but I promise HE WILL BE FINE! But some curtains or shades would be a good investment. ;)
