Yesterday after a mere 13 months of Eva sleeping in my office we dared to take her crib apart and move it into 'the girls room' (aka Lila's room). This also included moving the twin bed with trundle out of Lila's room and back into my office so the task was not so small. Eva slept in the bassinet in our room until she was 5 months old when she moved into the girls room. She slept for several nights in her crib in there when we realized that staying up all night with one or the other child was clearly not an option for two working parents. At the time Lila was just barley 2. For a short period we set up the pack and play in the landing just outside of our room and eventually settled on moving Eva's crib into my office. This was a temporary fix that lasted way longer than I'm proud of.
The funny thing about the office was that on one side it was 100% office; copier, computer, phone, desk lamp, etc. The other side of the room had a crib, changing table, etc. All that said, it certainly wasn't cozy and I had mom guilt every time the phone rang during Eva's nap time or in the early morning.
It feels so good to get everything put back into place, just like I'd imagined for my two girls. The room is cute and my mom guilt is mostly gone. Night ONE of Operation Room sharing was a mild success. We had a little difficulty getting them both to sleep but that will pass and we had one incident in the middle of the night (getting up once is normal for us).
