“It’s A Girl” those were the famous words that sent us into a shopping frenzy. I knew I wanted her to have the girlest of girl rooms. The nursery was decorated to the tee, I imagined before she was born, gazing upon her while she slept in her crib with an ever so softly lit pink ambiance lighting her angel soft skin. So sweet.
We brought her home thinking that we would just let her sleep with us for a few nights, maybe even a week or two. Three months later our little one is still snuggled in between us in our queen size bed, which feels more like a twin size these days. I have tried a few times placing her ever so gently into her crib, just when I lift her over the railing to lay her down….. her eyes open wide and the crying begins. I stand there for a moment consoling her, she seems to drift back off, I shut the door, turn on the monitor (another thing we don’t use, but spent a lot of money on, one of those camera monitors), she starts to cry again. I can’t stand to see or hear her crying so I rush in and pick her up. Those big blue watery eyes get me everytime.
Needless to say I don’t even attempt to put her in the crib to sleep anymore. We have grown accustomed to her sleeping with us at night. I love the way she seems to move her way over to one of us in the middle of the night, as if she wants to cuddle. It is one of the best feelings in the world!
Anyway today I have found away to use the crib……as a prop in some photos! She actually liked the crib while she was awake and she even took interest in the mobile. Maybe we will try getting her use to it while she is awake and she won’t mind sleeping in it, I won’t get my hopes up though. I will prob be awake all night the first night that she actually sleeps in her crib or maybe sleeping on the floor next to it. 
Very cute pictures! I fear t same thing will happen when our little boy is born. His nursery is upstairs and our room is downstairs with a little bassinet in it.
Well probably keep him in the bassinet more than the crib! We also put a video monitor our our registry
sounds like well be in the same boat!
It is still worth every penny and every moment though I must say. I loved getting the nursery ready when I was pregnant, guess its like momma bird getting her lil nest ready
nice pictures!
your story sounds SO familiar. Our daugther is now 15 months and still sometimes wakes up at night and all she wants is to be in between us and then sleeps peacefully through the night many many hours longer. we ended up with a KING size:-)
Thanks! I think we will prob end up with a king size bed, we also have a chihuahua that sleeps in the bed with us. Crazy how a 3 month old and a 6lb chihuahua can take up the majority of the bed
awwww sarah still sleeps with us some too! we love it! emily slept with us until she was 6…..audrey was about 6 …….enjoy it while you can. they would love to be in there with us know, but they are WAY too big!
