William's First Night In His Room

Well, this sure creeped up on me fast! The week flew by (being sick for 2 days didn't help) and last night was the night I said I would put William in his own bed. I had actaully completely forgot about it until Will and I were in the bathtub and starting the bedtime routine. When I remembered, I immediately got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach (again, yes, could have been left over from Wed). I had not even had a chance to pick up the Children's Benadryl the Dr. had suggested I give him to help ease him into sleeping through the night. I decided I had better go ahead and do it. Like a Band-Aid; just get it over with.
I took him up to his room, gave him a bottle and he was out. I laid him in his bed. He kept sleeping. I set up his video monitors and went down to my bedroom where I did not take my eyes off of him. Then, after about 10 minutes or so, my video went black. The batteries had died on the monitor upstairs. That freaked me out because I had been afraid that he would wake up scared, and I would not hear him crying.
I went ahead and changed out the batteries in both monitors to be on the safe side. Those suckers take a combined TEN batteries by the way! All was fine now. I had the monitor in my room plugged into an adapter so it was not using batteries but the one I had in his crib was not on an adapter so using batteries. I stared at the monitor even as my eyes birned from being so tired. He moved around a few times but that's about it. I probabley fell asleep around 10:30pm but I kept waking up and looking at the monitor so not really sure if I was ever truley asleep. I woke up again from 1:30am-3:30am. A loud thunderstorm came in at 5:30am PLUS I looked over at the monitor and it was black again! The freaking batteries had already died! Now I was borderline panic mode. I decided to just turn off anything in our room that made noise, open up Will's door and our door figuring I would either hear him cry or hear Cru's chain jingling as he got up to see what was wrong with him. I laid there knowing the lightning and thunder would scare him awake but after about an hour nothing. I fell back asleep and woke up as soon as I heard William make a peep which was at 9am.
Moral of the story, William got twelve hours of blissful sleep; I got maybe five. THIS is why I started on a Friday! :)
