We were going to do the crib transition this weekend, but my cousin called me to let me know that they could come visit! So, the choice was to wait until after that or to start tonight! I figure if we start tonight, that will give her 4 nights to get used to things. Hopefully she'll be doing pretty well by then. She used to sleep very well in her bassinet in our room until she outgrew it, but by then it was too hot, and Tyree said that we wouldn't move her upstairs because our air conditioner wasn't working all that well.
Now, it seems like it's not too hot at night. Plus, it's definitely time. The doctor said that she should be sleeping longer than she does. Besides that, she's started regressing with her sleep, waking up at 1am! She needs to learn how to put herself back to sleep at night. I'll miss snuggling her at night, but I think it's time.
So, we're going to start a whole night-time routine. I "think" it's going to be dinner (for all of us) at the table at 7pm. Then, we'll have playtime. At 7:45pm, I'll nurse her. Then, I'll take her to her room and we'll read a book. So, around 8:15pm or so will be bedtime. Maybe I'll do some baby massage, too. Wish me luck!!!!!

Good luck. Once she's in her own bed you'll sleep like a new person.
