After many false starts and struggles, tonight is the night that the girls begin sleeping in their own beds and not in their bassinets in our bedroom.
Last night, Natalie managed to turn around onto her belly while completely swaddled - arms too. Then today Kate managed to flip over a bouncer (
a what?) while she was inside it. So it's no longer a matter of convenience, it's become unsafe for them to stay there.
So, yeah, probably a long few nights ahead of us because they don't like their beds and are just remarkably stubborn (for some reason). But hopefully when we're done they'll be sleeping on their own, upstairs in their own beds, without the need for swaddle blanket, vibration device, white noise machine, blackout shades, and all the rest of the baby sleep-aids. You know, hopefully anyway.
