Moving On and Out

Finally yesterday I moved the cot from our room into the back room, after having about 2 hours sleep the night before. I had reached the end of my tether (again!) and I couldn't spend another night of interrupted sleep. So I hoisted the cot in one piece over our bed, along the landing and into the back room - its amazing what you can achieve when you are desperate!

So Harrison had his first night on his own. I did feel a little sad, but I was comforted by the thought of the possibility of somehow regaining my nights sleep. That and being able to put the light on to get changed for bed and actually read too! He wasn't too keen at first but eventually he fell asleep and although he cried a few times in the night, I didn't go into him and he eventually went back to sleep. So as far as Harrison is concerned the first night went well, I even managed to go a night without feeding him, and I think thats only happened once before since he was born!

Unfortunately for me though, Emily woke twice in the night. Once having a bad dream which I settled her from and then later she came in and woke me up for snuggles! Bloomin typical! I could've screamed. At least its a start though and I am very happy with how things went. Fingers crossed...
