Crib

Look where she's sleeping!!!  And yes, I'm still too nervous for her to sleep without that thing that prevents her from rolling because she can and WILL roll to her side when she starts kicking and can't get back.  From day one she has slept in her swing about 3 feet away from our bed, this wasn't our original plan.  We wanted her to start off in her crib from the beginning but that first night we put her in it we just couldn't leave her.  She was completely fine, we weren't.  She was swaddled in a blanket and sound asleep but I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to hear her if something were to happen.  Well, it started getting to the point where she wouldn't stay asleep in her swing without the swinging motion on, the "wave" noises on and she had better be completely asleep or she would wake up the minute you put her in it and Colton and I were having to tip toe around and whisper in our room whenever she was in there, remember we didn't get the infant who can sleep through anything :)  I knew we were digging ourselves into a huge hole if we kept this up.  So Monday I decided it was time to start putting her in her crib every time she went to sleep.  I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I told myself that I better get her used to it before I go back to work and in the long run it will benefit her and us.  So needless to say, Monday was a struggle.  I started her off on her first nap and she hasn't been in her swing since!  She was very persistent but so was mommy, and mommy will ALWAYS win...HA!  I almost wanted to give up a couple of times because she just was not having it, and I think she's too young to let her cry it out still.  I tried turning on a cd that I bought before she was even born to help calm her, I did that a couple of times and it seemed to help but then I started thinking every time she goes to sleep she's going to want that cd playing and she'll never learn to calm herself down!  So that plan was out the window.  So I just made sure that she was calm and almost asleep and then I would lay her down and that was it.  She has put herself to sleep in it a couple times already but she's not quite there yet, but we're working on it!
