I’m sad. I think for the first time Nina and I are going to have to start sleeping in separate rooms. Up until a couple of weeks ago, she slept in her co-sleeper bassinet right next to me in our room, but then I got really sick of worrying that the dogs were going to be loud and wake her up when we came to bed. So, I decided to move her into her crib. There is a twin bed in her room and that’s where I’ve been sleeping. Unfortunately, I think that instead of comforting her me being there is just keeping her awake. If I wake up because I hear her make a noise I can’t even turn over without her waking up fully and wanting to eat. And while I do want to sleep in the same room as her, the key word is sleep. She doesn’t need to be up and comfort nursing every two hours. We both need our rest.

I think tomorrow night I’m going to try moving back into our bedroom and disturbing Alex’s bachelor pad thing that he has going on in there.

Sniff. They grow up so fast.
