a few new things...

   Tonight is Jack's first night sleeping in his crib and not in our room... I must admit, I'm going to really miss having him right there where I can reach out and touch him! I'm hoping that tonight is a peaceful one. He's woken up a few times and cried a little bit, but mostly just because he wanted his paci. I'm going to spend tonight in his room to help ease my mind. I'm hoping that I'll be okay with him being in there alone soon. I think that if tonight goes well, I'll be back in our room tomorrow.
   Other than that, I finally went to my doctor to talk about how much trouble I've had sleeping at night (totally unrelated to Jack waking up...) and falling asleep/staying asleep. She diagnosed me with postpartum depression and gave me a prescription. Today was my first day on it and even though I know it takes 2 weeks for the medicine to really start working, I feel so much better just knowing that I'm getting help for everything!
   In fact, I'm going to have to make this a very short post because I'm actually feeling VERY sleepy! This is a good sign!!! Time for me to get into bed (or rather my sleeping bag on Jack's floor) and catch some z's! Wish me luck! Good night! :)
