Changing Rooms


Sunday night was a big, scary moment for me and Mike. We finally decided it was time for Zoe to sleep in her own room. Ahh! I thought I wouldn't sleep at all that night but I actually only woke up a few times to check the monitors, and I only got up one time to go physically check on the peanut. Then Tuesday night she slept through the ENTIRE night--from 8:00pm until 7:00am! I think this is the beginning of her being able to sleep all the way through the night (right now she usually wakes up one time around 5:00am).

I've been scared to let Zoe be so far away from us and I think it stems from an incident in the hospital. When Zoe was a day old the nurse had just brought her in to us from the nursery and when I went to pick her up I noticed there was spit up just sitting in her mouth (she couldn't breath). The nurse VERY quickly suctioned it out and everything was fine. But Zoe just sat there, didn't choke, cough...nothing. I've been afraid of that happening again but I think she's old enough now that she would turn her head or cough if it did happen.

    that's a scary story at the hospital!! i hadn't heard it. wow. i'd be scared too.

    it might be safer just to keep her in your room until she leaves for college, though.
