If you know us or have followed my blog for awhile you most likely know that Aiden is a terrible sleeper. While he has gotten better in the last 6 months, two years of majorly interrupted sleep leaves one a bit weary. So we prayed in earnest that this precious girl would sleep!
Sleep she does! Snuggled nose to nose with Mommy where she feels safe she sleeps like a rock. Based on what time we go to bed she often only wakes once during the night. That's a milestone that took Aiden two years.
Aiden was a part time co-sleeper who pretty much transferred to his crib full time at a little over a year. See co-sleeping was new to me. You didn't talk about it and only the weird people did it. So we spent hours comforting and bouncing him during the night as he cried in his crib.
Now we wish we had done things differently.
First time parents learn a lot in those first years. We are still learning! I think parenting is a constant state of learning as your children grow. These last few weeks we have learned that for us co-sleeping is a natural beautiful thing. Our sweet baby who is still adjusting to life finds comfort in having us near and we actually SLEEP. Luckily Mommas are blessed with insane radars and I am very aware of her needs throughout the night. We are finding such blessed joy all snuggled up together.
It is also a great reminder that these moments are fleeting and they won't be little forever.
So for now we happily snooze, nose to nose!
