If you don't know, Casey and I have a weakness when it comes to our children and sleep. What I mean by this is that when the girls were babies they NEVER slept in their crib, they slept with us. Even now at 2 and 6, they usually sleep with us in our California King. If not we have to lay in their bed for atleast 30 minutes before they fall asleep, and then they each end up migrating into our bed sometime in the middle of the night.
In Violet's 2 years of life, she has NEVER fallen asleep without snuggling one of us (or the occasional babysitter)
With littlest girl on the way, we've realized that they need to not only sleep in their own beds ALL NIGHT but also fall asleep without Casey or I.
Hallelujah! After 3 long evenings of crying, whining and a lot of guilt on my part... it worked!
So this photo may appear to some of you as a pile of little girls, baby dolls and stuffed animals, but to us it is nothing short of a miracle. Maybe now we will have our big bed to ourselves, that is until January, of course.

We need that same miracle! What a cute pic, IF that were ever to happen to us, I would have been afraid the flash would wake them up and knowing Amelia it would have..ha!
Congrats about the new little girl, could they tell if she's going to be a red head....just kidding!

That is so funny. We coslept with Ella until she was 6 months and then moved her to her crib, but we never had her cry it out and always brought her in with us if she needed to. She is now in a big bed in her new big girl room and loves it. I too have to get ready for another little girl hogging our bed and make sure Ella has plenty of time to adjust....it works. It is much easier when they are older to let them cry since you can explain it to them and know they are ok. Congrats on the little girl and sleep! Julie
