If she can sleep longer, then trust me, let her. You'll appreciate it later. Sometimes she may wake up more, sometimes less. She'll also cry a lot her first night, but do not let her out of her crate just because she wants to be with you because that will start a bad habit... just like with babies, you have to learn the difference between the "I'm scared and want to be with you" whine and the "I really need to potty" whine. Don't be nervous, everything will be fine! We've all been right where you are and your lucky because you found this site before you brought your new baby home. If you have any other questions, feel free to start a new thread or if you want you can PM me. Good luck and congrats! I also see your in Richmond... I'm in Leesburg.
