Eeeeeeek! Well, we bit the bullet. Ever since we found out we were having baby #2 I have worried about the bed situation. We paid quite a bit for Olivia's crib and really didn't want to buy another one. We really wanted the next baby to be able to use it. So, I asked around to see what other moms did and what kind of advice they would have. I think almost all the moms said to keep her in the crib as long as I could and that I would regret it if I didn't. I decided to just go ahead and do it. I would rather have sleepless nights NOW with one rather than sleepless night later with two.
Tonight is her second night in her big girl bed. It has been a breeze so far (knock on some wood for me). She has fallen right to sleep and did not wake up until 7 this morning. We have our fingers crossed that tonight will be much of the same. It does help that the bed is made for a little princess. :)
I think she is already in love (and maybe trying to go to sleep as well?).
When I put her down for her nap today I started feeling quite overwhelmed with emotion. She truly is growing up way too fast. I just wish I could keep her a sweet little girl forever. If time flies by this fast with the first child, what will it be like with the second?? I am little scared to find out.
