Stella's a 

BIG GIRL Now

Last night we decided to be adventurous and try something new - putting Stella to sleep in her CRIB in her OWN ROOM!! She has slept in our room every night for the past (almost) year except for the nights we spent in the hospital. We never planned on having her sleep in our room but with the feeding pump, the vomiting and the seizure episodes it wasn't realistic to put her in a different room. But she is no longer being fed throughout the night, the vomiting has slowed down tremendously (she has only thrown up once since Tuesday morning!) and she has not had a seizure episode in a week. I was nervous that she might scream anytime she woke up since she wasn't used to this new, cute environment...but we actually had a pretty decent night. She was up really late (which is typical for her, especially hyped up on steroids) but she fell asleep in her crib at around 1 am and she didn't wake up AT ALL until 7 am!! She woke up a happy, talkative girl and played in her crib for a little while and then FELL BACK ASLEEP until 9am!!! It was only the first night, but I am ready to officially say that she is sleeping in her own room :)
