Separation Anxiety?!

Yes I believe I have it. I'm not gonna lie after the trauma that I went through bringing my sweet baby boy into the world, I have a hard time leaving him most of the time.

Exhibit A: Noah is quickly approaching 4 months old and he is still sleeping at the bottom of our bed in the pack n play. He has not yet slept in his crib. :( Since the new year has begun, we have experienced two blissful nights of Noah sleeping for 7.5-8 hour stretches. The issue of course being the hours that he chooses to go to sleep, if he would just hold out for 30 minutes to an hour longer he would sleep until 6 or 6:30 which would be ideal. Not the godawful hour of 5-5:30. I keep telling myself and Matt that once his sleeping through the night becomes a pattern, then we will migrate. But do I really mean it? I don't know what I think is going to happen by putting him in his own crib and not having him within a stones throw of me. But don't you worry your pretty little head...I do imagine the worst :(

Exhibit B: My birthday is coming up later this month and one night Matt told me he had something fun planned but not until the first weekend in February and I got super excited. Until I realized that he not planning for Noah to come along AND it would be OVER NIGHT! I should be so excited that my husband is the sweetest person in the world and would plan something so wonderful for me. But part of me is FREAKING out about leaving my baby! Yes I am THAT Mama.

Don't get me wrong and think I freak out every time I leave my kid because I don't, especially if he is left with Matt. I've had a lot of friends recently have babies and this one girl's status was worried about leaving the baby with the Dad for a few hours...seriously?!? I never once worried about Matt. He is an AMAZING Daddy and I know that Noah is normally good for his Daddy. I don't like leaving him for a few hours because I miss him, but when he is with Matt I never once worry about them.

My goal is to have Noah moved to his crib to sleep by the end of the month, I'll keep y'all updated on our progress! :)
