We had another big milestone this week. Cael slept in his own room for the first time last night! He has been sleeping in his pack-n-play next to our bed until now. The past few nights he's been a very loud sleeper, and since he's sleeping through the night now and we're not waking up to feed him 10 times a night, we decided it was time for him to be in his own room. It was really hard for me to get to sleep knowing he was all the way down the hall. But, we set up the baby monitor and I eventually fell asleep. Then, about 2 in the morning he wakes up screaming bloody murder. I felt horrible - I guess we hadn't turned the monitor up enough, so we didn't hear when he woke up! I don't know how long he was crying for, I hope it wasn't very long. Once I picked him up he immediately stopped, so I'm sure he was just nervous about sleeping in a new bed away from us. I didn't think a baby this young would know the difference, but I guess he does! Usually the only time he wakes up at night is if he's hungry, and he definitely wasn't hungry. He just wanted me to hold him. It was hard to put him back down, but after I rocked him for a few minutes he calmed down and I put him back in his crib. He screamed it out for about 2 minutes and fell right back asleep. All in all, I think it went pretty well! A little traumatic for me, but Cael did wonderfully. I hope tonight goes just as well, and we'll definitely turn the monitor up higher tonight! :)
