Moving to crib question
This is going to be a little long so bear with me...
Our house is set up where our master bedroom is on the main floor and we have the nursery and guest bedroom on the lower level. We converted our basement into a finished space with full windows and a walk out den.
Currently LO is in a pack n play (as of 2 nights ago) in our bedroom. I feel she needs to be moved to her crib but I always said I wanted her crib in our bedroom until she was 6 months and fully sleeping through the night. I have been asking DH to move the crib up to our room and he is fighting me on it saying if we are going to transition her we might as well move her downstairs.
My problem with that is that she wakes up 2 times a night as of recently. Our downstairs isn't even fully finished yet. The stairs aren't carpeted, the landing is just plywood and we are missing base molding in all the rooms. DH solution to the stairs issue is that we can move OURSELVES into the guest room until she starts sleeping through the night.
My routine at night is she falls asleep in her rocking chair, for now, wakes up gets her diaper changed on MY dresser, a bottle, and rocks back to sleep. Her nursery does not have a changing table yet or the rocking chair. So to move her down we would have to move my dresser and the rocking reclining chair and all her night time feeding supplies would have to be down there so I don't need to go up to the kitchen at night.
I'm really not ready to be a floor away from her and I also think it's silly to move the 2 pieces of furniture in our room instead of just moving her crib.
I do 100% of the bedtime and night time feedings so I feel like I should have my way since it's my routine. I do understand it's important to move her to her nursery but it's not right to do so if the whole lower level isn't fully finished.
What do you think about our situation? DH has already told me I'm being crazy and irrational but I want a Mom's opinion.

Re: Moving to crib question
I guess I could have her just stay in the pack n play if that's the more logical thing to do.

I rhink I will stick with the pack n play for now since she is not having an issue with it. Her sleeping changes are from a growth spurt or teething ( as per her dr ). Once she starts sleeping 6-8 hours again I will try the crib.

We *just* moved ourselves back to our room, as Z doesn't wake up, and G was down to one wake up.
Of course then we went on vacation, and sleep went out the window haha
That said, the rocking chair is in their room, and I just use a changing pad wherever to change them (and we don't do overnight changes unless poopy.)
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!
