We've had a difficult few weeks since Hila fell (jumped?) out of her crib and landed on her head. That very night we said goodbye to her crib and moved Hila into a twin bed (now complete with bed rail) and new room. We are trying to be sympathetic and patient, knowing that it is a big adjustment, but the hours of fighting about going to sleep at night and the missed naps when she's home all day can really be tiring.
We have had a few good nights, particularly those that follow a nap-less day when she literally passes out in bed from exhaustion. Last night, for example, she slept for 14 hours (!!!) and then still took a nap today.
I think we would have waited a bit longer before the big transfer, but the truth is, now's a good time. It gives Hila a good 3-4 months before the new baby comes and takes over her old room.
The number of good nights are becoming more and the number of difficult ones are becoming less, so I assume we're all headed in the right direction.

Making the move now is great idea. Giving your kiddo time before your next is wise :)
Moving Sophie into a bed before Lilah was born was necessary and smart, but it was one of the hardest things I have done as a parent to date. Glad it's getting easier for you guys! B'shaah Tova!
making the move can be hard but if you have another little one on the way it is a great idea. gives your first a chance to be a "big" girl before their is a baby in the house.
