We finally did it!!

We got brave. 

We made the decision.

Prepared for sleepless nights and very early mornings, we moved Jake into Chloe's room!

I wasn't sleeping very well, I reasoned. Why not move them in together while I'm awake anyway? So, the decision was made and we determined not to look back. We were resolved. 

We had not been seriously considering it. I thought we would do it sometime this summer, but I could wait no longer! Kevin and I have been married for 5.5 years. For 3 of those years, a baby has slept in our room. The time had come.

So with curtain hung between the two, we took the dive. 

Last night marked 10 nights that they have shared a room. What glorious nights they have been! The children haven't seemed to notice or care. They have slept extremely well. They are not getting up any earlier and Jake is actually sleeping later! Kevin and I are able to turn on the lights in our room whenever we want! We can read and talk while in bed. It is amazing! Before, we would sneak into the room - no talking allow, and especially no laughing, coughing, or loud noises of any kind. Needless to say, we are enjoying the change.

Praise God from whom all blessing flow. His timing was perfect.
As always.
