My kid slept through the night!
We have tried everything and he only wanted to sleep in my arms or in the damn vibrating chair thing, which he is slowly outgrowing. We bought a co-sleeper before he was born, and we couldn't use it because I have trouble getting out of bed. Then we bought a pack-and-play, and he would tolerate it for maybe 2-3 hours at the most for naps... sometimes.
So, I've been sitting on the couch with the little guy for the past month. I'll lay him down on the cushion and watch him closely. I just sit there and he falls asleep. I was trying to explain to my husband for the past MONTH that he would probably sleep better in the crib due to the mattress.
He wouldn't freaking listen to me and has been putting off getting the crib up. FOR A MONTH. So, finally he put it up yesterday.
Baby slept for EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS.
I'm excited and so pissed off at the same time.

Good for you! And, as much as it's irritating that it took a month, isn't it just so nice to be RIGHT?!?! I love that "I told you so" feeling, even if I never say it out loud.
