I know I should be happy, but I'm a lil sad tho..

I was due May 31st & we planned on moving June 1st (which was fine with us cuz we figured he'd be late anyways) but ended up having him June 6th...& finally after weeks of delays from contractors we finally moved in july..well we didn't set anything in his room cause we figured why set up his nursery twice so we bought a wooden bassinette for him to sleep in, in our room...well he HATED it, he'd squal & cry & fight everytime he was put in there...but as soon as we picked him up he would go straight to sleep or we'd lay him down on our bed or couch & he'd also go straight to sleep...so after 2 nights of fighting we decided to just sleep on the couch wit him til we can move & than he'd go straight to his crib in his room when we moved! (Luckily we have a huge couch so we'd could sleep on the couch together without touching or risking either of us falling off) well FIVE weeks later we FINALLY moved & we all figured it was going to be a huge fight to get him to sleep in his crib since he'd slept near me for five weeks....well his 1st night went really well...and now we are probably night 3 or 4 in his crib & he continues to do very well! Actually AMAZING...he'll do 3 to 4 hour stretches & will only cry when its time to eat! And I'm happy he loves his bed & sleeps so good, and I know that if he hated it & is screaming & crying & only wanted to be next to me, I would have been crying to my husband in the other room hoping he'd exhaust himself to sleep after crying...but he didn't & a part of me is a little sad that he didn't..& I worry that he's not attached to me...I'm attached to him & hoped for the same thing...I know its better this way & as long as he's happy I'm happy...& I did miss my bed very much & miss sleeping with my husband but a part of me still can't help but be a little sad...Am I totally crazy??

 Sorry for the long post & if your still reading thank you!

No he was in your body for nine months of course your going to miss sleeping with him,but its safer for him in his own bed.

Try not to be sad, you're both getting better sleep this way!  I'm sure he snuggles you all day long, so don't worry about him being attached to you!  also, this is not meant to be critical, but newborns cannot self soothe and should not be left to cry it out as you seem to indicate you would do if he hadn't liked his crib.

You're not crazy! Of course you want your LO to feel attached to you and he still is even though he is in his own room now. He still needs his mama.

I think changes can be hard especially for us new moms with our hormones all out of whack. Be kind to yourself and do not think you are crazy!
