Momentous Occasion

Yesterday was a big day: we moved Isabella into her very own room. Up to now, she's been in a bassinet beside our bed, or in our bed as often as not. The move was more of a big deal for me than for Rob; he wanted his space back, but did I? How would I sleep without her beside me? Would I wake up thinking that I heard her cry when really it was the cats rough-housing in the living room? Would I fail to hear her cry at all? Maybe Isabella wouldn't be able to sleep without a warm body next to her. I had so many concerns. Maybe if I didn't move her at all she would become spoiled and not be able to sleep on her own when older. Maybe, what if, ahh!

Now that the first night is over I can feel better about the move. Isabella did just fine on her own; in fact she slept four hours in one stretch! Or at least, it wasn't until four hours later that she cried loud enough for me to hear her from my room. :)

My little girl is growing up so fast!

How are she and the cats getting along these days? Have they welcomed her into the family warmly yet?

Not exactly. TR likes it when she pulls his hair, but otherwise they steer clear.
