Crib already??

My baby girl has always been a pretty fantastic sleeper. Untill about a week ago when she seemed to want to throw her arms and legs all over the place while she tried to sleep, like she coudln't get comfortable. Of course every movement she made would wake me up and I'd peep over into her bassinet. We obviously didn't sleep the best for a few days. I let her nap in her crib one day..I laid her down, she threw her arms up by her head and her legs flopped open like a frog. She didn't move an inch until she woke up. She loves her space. So three nights ago I decided okay, I guess it's time to ditch the bassinet and let her sleep in her own room. SHE loved it. I did not. I did not close my eyes at all. I just thought, I can't hear her breath like I could when she is next to my bed, i can't hear her every movement, I can't stare at her! haha and really, she's my baby. she is two weeks old...I felt like I ditched her in a way. Like I just put her in her room and left her. I know, that's crazy talk. Anyway, what do I do? I lug the bassinet back in my room, right next to my bed and go get her sweet little self and put her back in my room. I am so selfish. She later woke up to eat and when I laid her back in there it all started agian..and she dind't sleep well the rest of the night. Once she got to sleep and I put her in, she would wake up immidiatly. Last night was her first full night in her crib. And she loved it. She would wake up to eat, and I would lay her back in there..not having to even bounce her till she was completely conked. She just settled herself in and didn't peep. It's hard for me to have her in the other room. I check on her all the time. Relax Whitney. Totally a first time mom, yeah I know. She's laying on me right now..completely passed out..I can't even describe how blessed we are that she chose us to be her parents. I just hope that she has the patience with us as we try our hardest to be the best parents to her that we can be. Did she really think we were that cool?? haha. She has definatly made me and Josh closer in a way only a child could, obviously. I love my little family and I can't wait to grow it..buuut for now we will just enjoy our baby girl!
On another note my best friend is getting married! Skylar, I can't wait! I'm so glad she has found someone she wants to share the rest of her life with. I know they will be so happy together. She has always been such an example to me. She had such good grades (I'll be honest, she was the reason I passed Chemistry haha) She is graduating from college, and just got her personal trainers certification, she is such a talented athlete and has such determination to reach every goal she sets for herself. I wish I had that quality. I feel so lucky that she asked me to be in her wedding and I can't wait! p.s. if you read this, FL is ugly and humid and gets hurricanes, so if you ever think about moving there, please don't :)
