Crib Fail

L has been sleeping in my room since the day he was born.  He started out in a snuggle nest, which is a little baby bed you put in your bed so you don't accidentally crush him in your sleep.  I loved it, but it took up a lot of room and had to go between me and the Hubs, which didn't leave much room for touchy feely good stuff between us.  Once we found out L had reflux, we moved him to the bouncy chair on the floor next to our bed.  Hello sex cuddling!  We did that so that he'd be upright and not all gaggy and chokey pants when he threw up all over himself in the night.

Well, he's been sleeping longer and longer each night, sometimes actually making it through 8 hours.  Woo hoo!!  But there are some nights he still wakes up a lot.  Like a lot, a lot.  The other night he was whining and making noises and I was just too damn tired to get up and get him, so I just decided to let him cry for a minute.  And guess what?  He went back to sleep.  Of course, I was awake after that, but it started an experiment... let him cry and see what happens.  There still are times he wakes up, but sometimes, he just goes back to sleep. This has lead me to believe that it is time to transition him to the crib.  I've tried it for 2 nights in a row now.

It is not going so well.

He was awake pretty much every 2 hours both nights.  Until finally, I was so tired, I pulled him in to bed and nursed him til we both fell asleep.  I do love having him in my room with me, but damn, I'm fucking tired!  I can't remember how this all played out the first time I had a kid because that was like forever ago.  I'm pretty sure we had him in his crib from birth because I was all, children can not share a bed with us!  OMG! That would be the WORST!!  And now I'm more of a this baby is going to grow up at lightning speed, don't miss a THING!!!

So here I am, tired and still sharing my bed/room with a squirming, squeaking, puking little munchkin.  We'll try the crib again tonight.  Any tips/advice are appreciated...
