mekyria | Milestone: she's sleeping in her own room

In the past couple of weeks, Eliza started to wake up more frequently during the night. After her 5am wake up moment, she'd have a hard time getting back to sleep. I put her inbetween us because that seemed to help with her getting back to sleep, but she would wake up around 7am waving her arns around and kicking me in the ribs. She is a very strong baby, for sure! Her crib is getting too small for her (awwwww) so I decided it was time to have her sleep in her own room.

Wow.

That obviously was a great idea! It took us longer to get her to sleep, she's falling asleep at 10 or 11 pm. But when she sleeps, she only wakes up once around 4am for feeding, then goes back to sleep with minimal effort until 8.30. Eight friggin thirty. I feel like we hit the jackpot.

Bonus is that we feel more rested because it is quiet in our bedroom and we have the bed to ourselves. We use the babyphone during the night as well, even though her room is next to us I don't want to miss the early signs of her waking up. When we get to her early she goes back to sleep easily after her feeding.

I am slightly sad that my baby is getting bigger and she is further away during the night. But... SLEEP. Awesomesauce.
