Good News :: Buenas Noticias

Hi everyone! Good news!! I sleep all by myself -that is in my very own room- and in my own crib!! :) I am very happy to announce that, it was quite a process, not only for me but also for my parents. They were quite loving and patient, they supported me and stood by me until I finally made it!!! So, here is the story, on Thursday last week my Mom and Dad decided to do this, I wasn't to sure, but hey! I liked the crib, since Monday I had fun going in it, jumping on its mattress, and although I found it quite different to "my bed" -go figure, it wasn't really mine, that big bed was my parents and I though they were just there to make me company! It was THEIR bed!!

So, Mom nursed me and I slept on my crib, but I woke up few times, and not knowing where I was I cried a bit, but everytime I just started doing so, my Mommy came and hugged me, lifted me and either nursed me or just comforted me until I fell asleep again. She even had to come in my crib once at the end, because I was starting to not like going there all by myself! Next two nights were similar, although I felt better and I cried less, but I expected her to come in and she had to be sincere, she told me that I had to be sleep there alone! What a shocking thing to hear, so the next three nights she not only didn't come inside the crib, but also asked me to sleep on my own, without nursing or anything! O-h m-y g-o-s-h!!! It was soooo hard the first night, I didn't like it, cried and complained, asked her to pleaaaase take me, but she lovingly stayed there, also my Dad came and supported me until finally I would sleep on my own. And of course, every day got better and better, because I knew they will be there if I needed them! So last night I did it! I didn't cry all night, I fell asleep at 10:00 pm and when I woke up at 4:00 am asked for a snack, and went back to bed until today almost until 9:00!! I feel awesome! Hopefully this is it and from now on it will be just me and my crib!!! :)

Hola a todos! Buenas noticias!! Les cuento que ahora duermo solita -o sea, en mi propio cuarto- y en mi propia cama!! :) Estoy felices de contarles esta nocticia, puesto que fue un gran proceso, no solamente para mi pero tambien para mis padres. Ellos fueron muy cariƱosos y pacientes conmigo, me apoyaron y estuvieron ahi durante todo el proceso hasta que finalmente lo pude lograr!!! Aqui les cuento la historia: el jueves pasado mis padres decidieron que teniamos que hacer esto, yo no estaba tan segura de ello, pero me gustaba mi cuna, desde el lunes comence a divertirme entrando en ella, saltando en su colchon y aunque me parecia super diferente a "mi cama" -ha! imaginense! no era realmente mi cama, esa cama grande es de mis papis y yo que pensaba que estaban alli solo para hacerme compaƱia! Pero era SU CAMA!

Asi que mi Mami me dio leche y dormi en mi cuna, pero me levante algunas veces y como no sabia donde estaba, llore. Pero siempre, ni bien comence a llorar, mi Mami vino y me abrazo, me levanto y ya sea me dio leche o simplemente me calmo hasta que dormirme de nuevo. Inclusive tuvo que venir dentro de la cuna la ultima vez que me levante pues ya me estaba disgustando estar alli solita! Las siguientes dos noches fueron similares, pero cada vez me senti mejor con la idea y llore menos, pero como queria que ella se venga dentro de la cuna conmigo, ella fue sincera al tercer dia y me dijo que yo tenia que estar alli solita! Que cosa mas impactante es escuchar eso... asi que las siguientes tres noches ella no vino dentro de la cuna y a la vez me pidio que durmiera por mi cuenta, sin leche o nada! Mieeechi!! fie taaan dificil la primera noche, no me gusto para nada, llore y me queje, le pedi que por favor me alzara, pero ella me reiteraba que no y se quedo ahi a mi lado, inclusive mi Papi vino a apoyarme hasta que finalmente me dormi. Y claro, cada dia fue mas facil, pues sabia que ellos estarian ahi si los necesitaba! Asi que anoche finalmente lo logre! No llore toda la noche, dormi a las 10:00 pm y cuando me desperte a las 4:00 am pedi algo de tomar, tome y cuando entre a la cuna dormi hasta las 9:00!! Me siente super bien! y ojala que ya estoy lista para que sea independiente para dormir por las noches!! :)

Oh, I love this post!!! I just imagine when Bahia grows up what a delight it will be for her to read her Mama's loving records of her milestones. She is adorable.
