Worst feeling ever!
It's 3am and I've been up with Lily since 1:30. Before that she woke up at 12 after barely going to bed at 11. At the moment I am listening to her cry in her crib from the couch with tears in my own eyes. This was attempt 3 at laying her down and I just don't know what else to do. She sleeps great while in my arms, but as soon as I lay her down she wakes up crying. I'm completely exhausted and don't know how much more sleep I can go without. I have always been against the cry it out method, but I'm willing to try at this point...although, Lily is just hysterical in her room right now, I'll probably only last another minute.

That's rough, I've had my nights like that with Brenden and its hard. So just get as much sleep as you can, when you can. I was really against the crying it out method as well. I did something sort of like crying it out with Brenden, but not totally. When he would start to fall asleep I would put him in his crib. The first couple of days were hard because he would just cry, but I would go in every 5 minutes or so and check on him and calm him down. I started increases my increments of time, and he slowly got to understand that his crib is not a bad place and now he just goes to sleep on his own and now I know that if he cries longer than 10 minutes something is really wrong. Its hard, but you'll get through it and we'll be there next week! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sadie :) Thankfully, I haven't had too many nights like this. I was doing some reading on sleep training and planned on starting last night but it didn't quite happen :P Can't wait to see you guys!
ReplyDeleteSame here! I started packing today! Chris only works until 630 on Tuesday night so we're going to leave Idaho around 8 and drive through the night so Brenden can sleep for most of the trip. So we'll see you guys sometime Wednesday morning!
