on the weekend we moved our baby girl into a big girl bed. she's now in a bunk bed with her big sissie. the transition has been good and the one taking it the hardest has been me. i admit, i cried. the sight of that empty baby crib and knowing that i will never have a wee babe fill it again still brings me to tears but on the upside it's been awesome having our bedroom back to ourselves again and harper has sure loved being in her very own big girl bed.
all in all i'm exhausted but it's a good exhausted...lol. having fun can be tiring :P i'll be getting back into the swing of things around here this week but today i'm taking it slow and easy with my two cutie pies while i miss my hubs. there will also be some knitting for a prize winner...that's right...the winner of the luvinthemommyhood thank you giveaway is.....

Violet is 16 months and still sleeping in a pack and play next to our bed (night time nursing)..but she has been so awful at night lately that I am considering sticking her in Clover's room. I totally get where you are feeling heartbroken over it. The thought of my little baby not being with me anymore, making my room smell like sweet sleeping baby, makes me want to cry! Or maybe I am just hyper emotional from all the sleep deprivation.... #_#
ReplyDeleteThe post holiday blues have hit me too. No more husband at home. Back to parenting alone. I want my mom. LOL!
Yay for Kristy! I'm happy she won too :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a good holiday full of family and surprises. Husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary and had two dates and one kid free night in the same week.
I was a bit sad to see the holidays come to an end but have so many fun things planned for the new year that I can't stay sad for too long.
So glad you had a great holiday and I'm excited to see what you've been sewing!

Happy New Year! I hope this one is pain-free and healthy as a horse for you guys! You're too busy to be sick ;)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful blog and for this giveaway!!! I'm pretty sure this is the first thing I have ever won; hoping that is a sign of more good things to come for 2012!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Shannon, I am so excited! <3
Happy New Year :)
We had a similar transition over our Christmas break. The bunk beds that we ordered last month finally arrived, and I moved my not-so-little one out of the crib in my room and into the room with her sister. (She's three - it really was time). It's wonderful to have my room again (I can have a light on to read! I don't have to tiptoe when I get dressed in the morning!), but the empty crib makes me sad, too.
ReplyDeleteYay for being able to sew again!
we had such a great Christmas, feels like a whirlwind though! i was soo happy to see you on the weekend! i got owen to try on the awesome pressie... but i'm gonna iron it and take it to alberta to show everyone.. hopefully we'll get some great pics! xo
ReplyDeleteIt's always so hard when Daddy has to go back to work! Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful family filled Christmas! And time to sew to boot! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for 2012! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your holiday season was good, and that you feel energized and ready to go for 2012.
ReplyDeleteI have decided that this year is the year I learn how to sew (my only resolution btw), so I am ready to see what you will delight us with
I saw that blue snowflake pyrex a few weeks ago and thought of you!
ReplyDeleteOur littlest girl is still sleeping in our room, but I can imagine how bittersweet it will be when she starts sleeping in a bunk bed with her big sis. Hope the transition goes well for your family!
