First night in the crib

Today was really busy. We took Annabelle to her two week appointment, went to my OB, drove Gramma M out to Charleston, took a little Walmart shopping trip and then tried to stay awake until at least 8pm so that we could get some good night sleeps! The last one was kind of a fail because I really wanted to just sit on the couch and watch the finally of the Next Great Baker on TLC lol And it ended up lasting until 10:30. Oops! And Annabelle woke up at 11 for her feeding, sooooooo ya. big mistake. This is Sean trying to stay awake with the little cuddle bug:

Anyway!
We decided to try to let her sleep in her crib tonight! ahhhh! too soon! :) I know it's not too soon, but I feel like it is for me. She has been sleeping in our room in a bassinet up until now, but seriously -she is the loudest sleeper! During her "active sleep" where a lot of babies move their eyes around, or maybe make a few noises, she like grunts and snores and moves all over. lol It took me a little while to get used to, but I could sleep through it pretty well. Sean couldn't though. It was keeping him up all night, so we decided it would be better to just go ahead and move her now. The nursery is literally right outside of our bedroom, and basically just like walking across the room, so it's not a huge difference. Except now instead of just pulling her into bed to feed her, I'll just stay in the nursery and feed her in the chair (blah). We'll see how this goes! I really want to keep it this way, but it is going to be a big adjustment and a little more work on my part. For the first night (or maybe week) I decided I want to keep the monitor on too. We can definitely here her waking up and cry, but it just makes me feel a little more comfortable. Sooo, ya. Wish us luck!
She looks SO tiny in her big empty crib! :/
