We're going a little nuts with this renovation right now. We're sleeping in what will one day (hopefully in 2012, or at least early 2013) become an office. Our bed right now is located about 20 feet from Elliot's crib.
At first this didn't mean much. For the months of September and October, Elliot slept the way he did before --- all through the night.
But slowly.... slowly he realized that he could get us to come in and pay attention to him at night. We were close enough that we couldn't just ignore his cries. And so he began to cry more, and we, wanting sleep, began to hop up and get him a bottle to bribe him back to quiet.
It's gotten to the point where he now wakes up every single night, without fail, and demands a bottle. He cried for half an hour last night, coughing and gagging he was so worked up.
The point of all this is: we need our own bedroom. With a door that gives us some space from him. Here's hoping it will be here soon.
