Co-Sleeping and other Updates

As some of you might know Twilight Sparkle has been sleeping in our bed for the last four years. I don't talk much about my parenting because GOOD LORD I've never been critizied so much for something. I guess everyone feels their way is the best way {or the only way}, but if everyone was raised the same we would all be boring. SO the fact the Madison sleeps with us is just the way we want to live.

It started when I was breastfeeding and it was just so nice to lay in bed and do it, after I quit breastfeeding we did 'sleep training' in her crib. The Cry it Out method, which worked to a point. She would sleep in her crib for a few hours, but eventually throughout the night she would end up with us.

Then she started throwing herself over the rail so we had to get a big girl bed. She would start the night out in her room, but would somehow end up in our bed. I wouldn't even hear her come in, I would just wake up and she was there so it was hard to keep putting her back. I guess to be honest we loved all snuggling together and it didn't bother Oliver or me. Oliver's nickname when he was little was HUGGIE, so you can imagine where she gets her love of snuggling :)

When we first started trying to get knocked up I told Oliver she should start sleeping in her room, he resisted the idea so I let it go. His philosophy was that she would go to her room when she was ready. I never got pregnant so I didn't push the issue.

Well last week my Mother In Law and Madison decided to rearrange her room, the moved the bed from the middle of the room to in the corner against the wall. All of the sudden Twilight Sparkle was talking about sleeping in her bed. Not only is she sleeping in her bed, but she goes in there happily and goes right to sleep, no fight, no coming out to pee, no bribery needed. It might be a miracle.

It's the end of an era and I sure will miss snuggling with her little stinky baby breath and hard jabs to the stomach with her little feet.

In other news, Oliver is on his 'vacation' diet. His goal was to lose 10 pounds in the two weeks leading up to vacation, this way he can eat what he wants and come home Even Steven. Seriously.
I hate men, even if I WANTED to do this no way am I losing 10 pounds that fast.

And finally a little fertility update:
I've been taking my Bravelle shots since last Saturday, today at 9am I'm taking my Trigger shot, which makes my eggies drop. I have two eggs, one on each side, so I'm praying the God knows I can't handle two babies. This is my best chance at having one, if I have to increase my dosage my chance of multiple will go up as well. I'm also taking Estradiol to keep my lining thick, it's thinned due to my c-section with Madi. Saturday I start 200mg of progesterone daily. Sunday we start praying praying praying.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for Workout Wednesday!
