Separation Anxiety

I guess the transition from baby being completely dependent on Mommy to being more independent is hard  for every mother, but I didn't expect it to be this hard! I left Kaelyn for the very first time on Friday. It was only for 30 minutes, but I still worried about her the entire time! I clutched my phone expecting a call from "Nonnie" (Kaelyn's great-grandma) saying that Kaelyn was a disaster. No phone call came. I returned home to find both of them sound asleep :) I need to calm it down.

My little princess is also doing better at sleeping in her crib for naps. She has been going down without a fuss. Of course I sit as close as possible to the monitor and turn it all the way up, then leap into action at every little peep. My sweet pumpkin hardly ever cries so often the slightest peep is my only indication that she is awake and ready to party <3
The next step? "Operation Night Owl": I need to get Kaelyn used to sleeping in the crib at night, as well. I think the transition for her will be quite easy, but for me? not so much. She went to sleep in her crib last week and it took me 2 hours to fall asleep without her. Hopefully this week I can pry myself away from her long enough to let her be her own sleeping independent baby.
And cue the monitor. She's awake. Back to work I go! Hi Ho, Hi Ho!
