I did it!Benjamin is officially in Rachel's room. So I guess now it's not Rachel's room it's the kid's room. I decided to forget the pack-n-play in the play room idea and just jump right into him being in the same room. I was a little nervous but I didn't need to be. Since Rachel has been back on her Asthma medicine she is finally sleeping through the night again I figured it would be okay to try it out. Well I'm pleased to report:
1. It's officially been 3 nights that they have shared a room.
2. I can hear Benjamin just fine when he decides he is hungry and wants to eat.
3. Rachel sleeps through anything Benjamin can dish out.
4. Marc will sometimes get up and bring him into me. (so now he is more involved in the process)
5. I'm getting more rest now than I was when he was in the room.
As a side note: I just got a call from the Allergist while I was typing this and they went over the blood test results with me. Rachel's casine levels (milk intolerance levels) were borderline high for having a milk intolerance too. To show that you have an intolerence, your bood work needs to come back with at least a .10 to the thing (milk in our case) and Rachel's came back as a .14. So we are to stay on the soy and not re-introduce milk into her diet. On March 26 we will go back in to re-test her her for the egg and milk allergy/intolerance and redo the asthma testing so we can know the severity of her asthma. Crazy! Who would have thought my little girl would have so many things to worry about at such a young age.

Way to go, getting them out of the room is a big step. Getting more sleep is always a good thing.
Yay! Way to go. As for Toby, I decided I wasn't ready for him to go to a big boy bed (I chickened out) he still sleeps in until 8:00 and takes 2 hour naps sometimes twice a day. I don't want to mess that up for now. I think when the baby comes, we will use the pack and play until we are ready....but good for you. It's nice to get sleep!
As for the allergies, I always thought that if you introduced things at a young age (slowly) that they would build a tolerance for them...is that not how it is with food allergies? You'll have to explain it to me sometime. Until then, I'll pray that I won't have to deal with that. At least you were already doing the soy thing for you, so that won't be too hard to transition. Did you try out any recipies using the egg substitutions?
Yeah for Benjamin. Bummer for Rachel. We still love her, though.
