July 15. Must. Sleep.

Tonight we are trying the Ferber method to sleep-train Lily. Oh boy. I am so darned tired from waking up 5-10 times a night to soothe her crying! Something must be done!
     When I went back to work in March, Lily was sleeping almost through the night. April and May were great. She woke up once a night if that. Then, summer came and the Kraken was awoken. She cries so many times per night. I am a human ping-pong ball in and out of bed all night long. After doing research and talking to other moms, we've decided to try the Ferber method. It is a "kinder" way of letting her cry it out. Eric and I are both on board and have talked about how to do it and who will do what.
     Sigh. I tired letting her "cry it out" at nap time today. I was in her room as much as the method prescribed and she cried for an hour and forty-five minutes. It was incredibly awful.

     My mom and all of my Mommy friends assure me that this will be a good thing. We'll see. Keep ya posted.
