If we have a rough time tonight, I doubt I will be the one who enforces this sleeping arrangement. It's been so wonderful to have him right beside us, and I am sad to see him---or more aptly, not be able to see him---in his own room. He sleeps from about 8:30 p.m. to 4:30 or 5 a.m. right now, which is great for us. I will probably bring him back to bed with us after I nurse him at 5 to sneak in a little more time with him.
Aaron and I planned for Shepherd to sleep in his room from day one, but when we brought him home, I immediately nixed that plan and decided "we would go with the flow," mainly because I couldn't stand the thought of him being anywhere but beside me.
As we put Shepherd to bed tonight, I laughed at the difference between the plans we made and the reality. I'm sure Shep won't even notice where he is, but I will miss his sweet smiles and the way he cranes his neck---we call him ET--- as he sleeps tonight, without us. Will let you know if this works, or if I try to get him to sleep one more night in his bassinet.

He's such a handsome man! I know it must be so heard to watch him grow up.
Hope it's going well! He really is so cute!
