usually when my huz gets home from work he “takes over” baby duty for a little while to give me a break…we’re most often still all together, but he’s the one primarily tending to her needs in those instances. (after a short rest, we go back to tag-teamin’ it.)
today was no exception. he came home from work to find us sitting on the front porch. when he came out to join us, i handed our little sweetie over to her papa while we chatted. at some point, she let us know it was time for a little pre-bedtime snooze…which is when i let my huz know i thought it would be nice if he took a turn putting her down.
he obliged me, no problem…and after 20 mins went by without him emerging from the bedroom, i went up to inspect the situation…actually, i was working myself up to have a talk with him about how we aren’t rocking her to sleep anymore–i just knew that’s what was taking him so long!
i opened the door to find that my huz had fallen asleep in bed beside the bassinette for a little pre-bedtime nap, too. so sweet…the two of them drifting off to dreamland together.
i really am going to miss having her in our room! i feel so torn, but i know when the time is right for the three of us, it will be okay…and even a good thing.

Very sweet! We plan to move Waleed out of our room once he’s “sleeping through the night” (i heard thats used loosely with babies) and that’s already making me feel sad.

Mason’s been in his own room for a week now – and I miss him sooo much! But I must admit, it’s kinda nice being able to move around our bedroom without having to tiptoe or whisper!

how did you do the transfer? first naps, then night? or all in one shot or what? i’m not ready yet…but she’s only 10 wks…it’s not like she’s 10 yrs old or something (that’s what i tell myself!)…
