This past weekend we decided to move the babies out of our room finally. We have a four bedroom house with two upstairs and two downstairs. We are in one upstairs and we have two cribs in the second one for the two babies but of course little man still has to sleep in one of them for awhile. He also wakes up too easily to sleep in the same room as them right now.
So the first thing we tried was putting the two pack and plays downstairs in one of the rooms for the babies. That's what they have been sleeping in in our room anyways. This ended up not working out very well because going up and down the stairs in the middle of the night to keep giving them their pacifiers is no fun. I also couldn't hear them very well on the monitor we had down there.
This wasn't working, so Monday night we decided to take one of the regular cribs apart and bring it downstairs for little man to sleep down there. Then the babies would share the second crib in the upstairs room for now. So far it seems to be working okay. Little man is still getting used to sleeping in a new room and the babies are still working on sleeping in their bed all night instead of the swings, but overall I think it will be a good arrangement. It's so nice to have our bedroom back again!

How nice! I remembered how awesome it felt when Clay moved to his room (and a little scary at the same time)!
ReplyDeleteYeah I keep worrying that the monitor isn't working lol
DeleteI remember what it was like to get our bedroom back. When our daughter was born, we had a one bedroom apartment. Thank goodness that one bedroom was HUGE and she slept in her crib, in our room, until she was nine months old. We finally saved up enough money to get a two bedroom house. That first night of her in her own room, in a new house, was so liberating, yet scary. HA!
ReplyDeleteWow that must have been really nice, we only had them in our room for a couple months and we were ready for them to be out, lol.
DeleteYour boys are so cute! How old are they? My little one is almost 3 months and we have been thinking about moving him to his own room.
ReplyDeleteOurs are almost three months as well, they were born on June 26th! They must be pretty close in age to your little guy :)
DeleteLook at those precious pictures! :) Oh, it's so exciting to feel like you have your own space again. I hope it works out well for you. I'm guessing you have a monitor, video ones are the best. You can spy on them all day and all night! Ha.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!

Yeah we have a monitor, two actually. One downstairs with our oldest and one in the babies' room lol. I wish we had a video one because I always worry about them!
DeleteIt's fun when they start walking. :)
ReplyDeleteWe used to let our youngest fall asleep in the swing. He loved it.
Thank you for linking to Super Sunday Sync.
Ours love the swing too, but I'm afraid they won't be happy when they can't use them anymore, they are getting too used to them! lol
DeleteI remember when we kicked our youngest out of our bedroom. Your babies are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteHe is ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS! Congrats on having your own space back...the best!
