Will and I vs. Lily
The fight continues to get some sleep around here.
I feel like we are all sleep deprived at this point and all of us super cranky. (I know I am!)
Lily has been horrible during nights. HORRIBLE!
Ever since she was sick and we pampered her every time she woke up, she now expects it many (many, many, many) times during the night.
Two nights ago it was like having a newborn all over again. She was up every 2-3 hours.
It was worst than having a newborn actually.
We let her cry it out for at least 10-15 minutes at a time and Lily now has some lungs on her. She can really SCREAM!!
Last night was a bit better but not by much. She was up 4 times. (NOT good!)
I don’t know what the answer is. I really think we need to move our bed into the living room because I really think that as long as she sees us sleeping right next to her, she is going to…SCREAM!

@jess craig,
i don’t know how you do it with Wyatt waking every 2-3 hours and you being by yourself. you’re strong!
putting Lily’s crib in the living room was the first thought but it would make it hard during the day when she naps or when she would go down at night because of t.v and kitchen.
i wish i could close out the balcony and make that her room.

I hate to say this….but unless you guys can ignore her when she is crying (not possible in the same room) you might really have to think about moving the bed to the living room. It sucks! but it might only be temporary. : (
But both of you need to sleep before the problem starts setting crazy silly arguments between all of you, simply because you are sleepy and cranky. Love ya.

5 days in a row…that’s how long it took us. You can’t give in. Every night the crying got less and less. But now I sleep!!!!!! Sleep is a gift!
