Crib sleeping :)

It's been an ongoing saga, as you know - night time sleeping, Cooper not sleeping through the night, and the fact that we've been cosleeping for months. Now we need him in his crib because of my major surgery which we managed to get scheduled much quicker than anyone expected.

While at the hospital recovering, Bob and my mom have been working with Cooper on the crib sleeping front and so far it's going really well. Two nights in a row now Cooper has slept in his crib. He woke many times both nights but he was in the crib all night both nights so we have faith that each night he'll do better and better.

I will be going home either today or tomorrow and can't lift Cooper for 3-4 weeks. It'll be a major challenge since he's such a momma's boy and a cuddler, but we'll get through it. Meantime, the neighbors have been fantastic - stopping by to help mom out with Cooper - taking him on walks and playing with him. I'm so grateful for the support during this crazy time.

I'm also grateful to Bob and my mom for working with Cooper on the crib training while I have been in the hospital - it will be a huge help for when I'm home (for updates on my recovery, please visit my other blog: www.julieolsensjourney.blogspot.com).
