I CANNOT believe tomorrow is the end of June! Tomorrow will officially be the last day of the first half of the year.... oh my. The rest of the year is going to be HECTIC in the Hess household! I can almost see a huge wave coming towards me...but the only thing to do is ride it, right?I just read my last post! Wow I've been slacking! I'm VERY proud to say Maxson has continued to sleep in his own bed from the first night until now. The little turkey. I honestly think it was harder for me to let go than it was for him. It's funny watching him on our video monitor (I can't thank God enough for technology)....he's ALL OVER THE PLACE! He's experienced a freedom in his own space. When I'd sleep with him...it made my life easier, especially because I breastfeed. I thought about waking up, walking to his room, and feeding him throughout the night and cringed. The glorious days of just rolling over and attaching him to my boob were over. He would roll over a few times a night looking for a snack....keeping me in a light sleep all night. But when I put him in his own bed....he sleeps all night. I've read in baby books how babys and parents sleep better when they're in separate beds...but now I actually believe that theory. I felt better with him next to me. The thought of a burglar (do people still use that word) or a fire made me more content knowing he was next to me and safe in the chance of an emergency actually happening. But one day I heard him talking...so I went over to the monitor and he was teeter-tottering on the edge of our bed above our nightstand! NO BUENO! I decided he should be in his own bed for his own safety. And let me tell you....I feel so much better that he's in his own bed!! I still get my snuggles in though....because we all know that's important!

We still pull him in our bed in the mornings and snuggle!
