Why is it such a big deal to move your oldest kid downstairs? I'm feeling bittersweet tonight! I was always against moving him downstairs and having him be so far away from me. He's still my baby and he's too little to be downstairs all alone! I was afraid of him being too far away in the case of a break-in or a fire or him needing help to go potty in the night. We were planning to build them a bunk bed and have all 3 boys up in this one room. I even figured if we had 4 boys we'd just build 2 bunk beds and all live upstairs together! It was no where in our immediate future to move him down, but on Sunday he threw up on his bed and we had to wash all of his bedding so John put him downstairs on the air mattress and it was actually kind of nice! We decided to have him try sleeping downstairs again the next  night and we all slept so much better! The boys have been taking turns waking up all night every night for what feels like forever. I'm soooo tired. They haven't been waking up at the same time so I didn't think that they were waking each other up, but the last 2 nights they have both slept all night! I woke up a couple of times in the night wondering if everyone was still alive! It's been so nice to not get out of bed all night (except now I've always gotta pee! I still hold it way too long, I just love my sleep!) Anyways, after having a couple of really good nights I was really excited to move all of Ty's stuff downstairs. But tonight after moving all of his clothes down and rearranging Stevie's room and then putting them to sleep, I saw them in their own rooms on their own video monitors and I felt a little sad! That always seems to be the case though when we make a big change. I wonder if they'll miss each other at all or if they won't even care!  I just want them to have memories of sharing a room together growing up but I know there will be plenty of time in the years to come for that! I just can't get over how strange it was to move all of Stevie's clothes into Ty's old dresser and have Stevie's old dresser all empty and ready for Jack's stuff to be put in there. It feels like I just barely went through all this change with Ty so it's really weird having Stevie start to go through all those same little changes! I'm so excited to add a new little babe in 3 months but just can't believe how much faster time goes the older you get. Cross your fingers that our nights stay good now that Ive blogged about it! I always seem to jinx myself! Until next time-

(Thank goodness for video monitors! I couldn't have moved him down without having one! I thought it was an unnecessary purchase at the time, but I'm so glad I can check real quick and see that he's safe in bed!)
