Two nights ago Nels talked me into letting Madeline sleep in her own bedroom, rather than in the bassinet in our room. I was devastated. I didn't want our baby so far away from us in the middle of the night. It's so nice to be able to roll over and slip her pacifier back into her mouth or put her blanket back on her.
We do have a video/audio baby monitor so I was able to check in on her and see her sleeping soundly in her bed. It was reassuring. I can even hear her breathing on the monitor.
The first night of our big sleep experiment, Madeline slept from 11:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. I got up and nursed her then she immediately fell back to sleep until 8 a.m. It was fabulous.
Then last night Madeline went to bed around 11 a.m. and slept until 6:30 a.m. It was practically a miracle. On Christmas night she had slept about 6 hours but that had been the longest time in her nearly four months.
Madeline has her next doctor's appointment on Monday and I'm excited to find out her height and weight. She's wearing 6/9 month clothes now and they fit perfectly.
Our baby girl is growing up.
