another first

We survived. Didn't think I could do it, but it all turned out okay and everyone awoke ready to start the day.

I had been dreading the day, or night I should say, that Kathryn slept in her own room. Last night she did... and I survived. Whew! I had been waiting until we moved so she wouldn't get too many transitions at once. She had been sleeping in the pack-and-play in our room (it is nice and has a built-on changing table which made the middle of the night feedings easier early on). I didn't want to move her to her own room in Delaware just to move her back to the p-a-p in North Carolina while we got her room ready.

I waited her until we painted and had her room situated the way I wanted it. There's just a few things to hang on the wall and then it is complete. My parents were in town this weekend so I didn't want to move her yet in case she woke up screaming. Didn't think that was fair to them. {Oh and thanks Mom & Dad for all the help getting things unpacked, moved, and fixed!!!!}

I gave her the last feeding of the night and rocked her a little bit. I thought she was asleep... until I laid her down. She fussed a little bit and I gave her the paci to help. I couldn't leave the room. Finally I just walked out. I did miss being able to look over at her when I woke up in the middle of the night. But I did restrain myself from going into her room.

She survived. I survived. I think this is going to work.

p.s. I'll post pics once I get the pics on the wall.
