My Baby's Back (in his own bed :)

Using the BabyWise method, (if you are unfamiliar with this, I am happy to explain), Drew was sleeping through the night at around 3.5-4 months. We had no issues other than the occasional teething setback until Drew had his first seizure. Then the boy who slept so great in his bed started sleeping so great in my bed, and hubby and I started not sleeping so great. We would work through it and get to the point where Drew would be back in his bed again, and then he would have another seizure. I was so afraid to leave him alone that I thought our bed of two might be a bed of three until he was 5. This did not make my hubby very happy, but we agreed it was for the best.

Now things have finally calmed down and we think we have finally figured out a major source for the seizures (more on this a little later), I thought it was about time to have Drew sleep in his own bed again.

The first night he cried for 20 minutes, but went back to sleep and did not wake until morning.

The second night he did not cry at all.

The total bonus – He wakes up around 5:30 a.m. because I think he hears Brad moving around for work. Since Brad is out of bed by then, I have been going to get him in hopes that he would fall back to sleep for a bit so I don’t have to wake up too. It totally works – He has been sleeping until 7:45 a.m.!!!

This morning I actually got to shower and get ready before he even woke up.

This is thrilling people, thrilling! I think for my hubby most of all ;)

One of the other exciting things in my life is our upcoming trip to Vegas next month, although nothing seems to be going as planned, but I hope it works out for the best. We are treating my sis in law and Brad’s cousin for their 21^st and what can be more exciting or special than a trip to Vegas, so whatever happens should be good, right? I remember my first trip to Vegas when I was 21 and my folks pulled out all of the stops, so of course, I am paying it forward. A spa trip, a show, the awesome Hotel at Mandalay Bay, I am looking forward to a little indulgence J Come to think of it, I pulled out all of the stops for my sis in law on her first “magical” trip to Disney. Hmm, I think she has a tab forming :)
