Separation anxiety... and relief

We moved Alex into his own room last night. A momentous milestone for Mummy. Oh, and for him of course! He has been going backwards where sleep is concerned. Having slept through the night since he was two and a half months or so, he has recently been waking at least twice in the night, which we have been putting down to either growth spurts or teething at different times.

Since birth he has slept in a crib at the end of our bed and I knew he would be outgrowing it very soon, and seems comfortable in his cot in the nursery when I've put him in it for daytime naps, so after a fraught couple of nights of broken sleep for everyone we decided to try moving him there overnight. Hey, what did we have to lose, we weren't sleeping either way! It was great though, he slept 11 hours. I, however, was awake every few hours anyway and creeping into the nursery to check on him. Even though I had the baby monitor turned up high and right by my head!! Still, I was high from the peaceful night and extra sleep, having almost reached delirium from a series of broken nights prior to that.

I hope the novelty doesn't wear off soon!
