Day 53: Moving Out

Our sweet little Eva has been sleeping through the night since about 5 1/2 weeks and now that she's almost 4 months, daddy and I are getting ready to transition her to big sisters room. I don't know why this is so hard for me. With Skylar, she was my firstborn and yet I was ready for her to be in her own room. Bryce was sleeping on his own at 2 months!! Eva will be 4 months and I'm terrified. At first I thought maybe it was because of Skylar but I think it's because I'm trying to hold on to this baby stage as long as possible. We've talked it over with Skylar and of course she's ecstatic but we've also explained what not to do. She knows not to give the baby any blankets or stuffed animals. She knows not to try and crawl in the crib to be with the baby or to try and get her out. And we recently told her about the baby monitor which allows mommy and daddy to not only hear her but see her too. So if she needs help, mommy will be right there. I think Skylar will do great. If anything, I'm worried about sleep-interruption for both of them but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Since they're sharing a room, we needed to buy a new "mini crib" since ours will not fit in the same room with all of Skylar's furniture. It would fit in B's room because he has bunk beds but I do NOT trust him to leave the baby alone. Plus he's a light sleeper so any little noise the baby makes will most definitely wake him up. Whereas Skylar could have a freight train cut right through her bedroom and she won't even budge. Seriously. Skylar has such pretty furniture so it was hard to match. I am hoping that we got close enough...here is the new crib. I'll post pics of the finished room once we get it all set up.
Cute huh?! So with this meant purchasing a new mattress, new blankets, and daddy got me the best of the best in baby monitors to make the transition a little bit easier on me. So the idea that the 3rd shouldn't really cost that much because she'll get a bunch of hand-me-downs...not true! Maybe if our 3rd was a boy that would be the case but this lil girl is SPOILED!!!

Speaking of our spoiled little angel, here she is in her excersaucer (which IS a hand-me-down but don't think I didn't try and convince daddy to let me get a new one that was pink)!
My sweet little cutie. So in a couple weeks time, she'll no longer be rooming-in with us but will be a big girl sharing a room with her "sissy" Sad day.
