    I'm pretty good today, actually.  Yesterday I felt a little defeated, but thanks to everyone's responses, I feel better about things. 

    Hahaha!  I actually TOLD him last night what would be happening this Friday.  Either he has his sh*t moved by Friday, or I move it for him.  Sydney goes in the crib on Friday, no arguing about it.  I'm sick of being a single mom and babying him.  He had been at a golf tourney all day yesterday, so he was in no place to argue with me.

    Thanks for your sympathy on this! And thanks for checking up on me!

    I'm glad you feel better today and told him what was going to happen.

    Good Luck, it'll probably be a few days of torture but I'm sure it'll stick this time!

    I just hate being a bitchnag of a wife.  But, I guess sometimes you just gotta do it.

    Yeah, I'm dreading it.  I mean, really dreading it.  I'd rather have shots in my eyeballs than do this, but whatever.  I guess I have to, right?!

    Did you ever do CIO with your DD?

    F*ck that! I realize he works and all but F*ck that. You aren't mother Theresa!

    No, I couldn't. The one time I did, it wasn't intentional. I had to go down and get her water and she went nuts for the 1 minute it took, she puked and it was awful.

    Honestly, I always changed things around. She slept in our room in the PNP for 6 mos. Then I started to put her into her crib for naps, then slowly for night but she always still woke up a million times and I'd rock her. Then there was a time I'd let her fall asleep in my bed, then move her. Its always been forever changing.

    I had to rock her to sleep until a little passed two, seriously, there were months when it took me 2 hours to get her to sleep. At two, she finally started to sttn. Now at three, she goes to sleep all on her own after a few books with me, and sleeps all night!

    There is hope. Do whatever works for you and whatever you feel comfortable with.

    This too shall pass :)

    LOL!!!  Yes, it is true-I am not a Mother Theresa type.  I wish I was, but....

    Awww-she puked???  Poor baby!  I wouldn't be able to if either of my girls were like that.  And I can't believe you had to rock her to sleep until 2!  I would've lost my damn mind by then.  At least in the end though, you got a good sleeper.  But, you know-I would've done it for Ashlyn if she needed that.  The first kid is a bit easier to cater to.  It's the second kid that you can't really do that for.  That's where my guilt comes in too!

    I need to remember that this too shall pass.

    I totally agree! I can't say if I'd be able to do that with a second. With your first, its all about them and for me, I was running on adrenaline forever but at two, I was tired as hell.

    Don't feel guilty, you are doing a great job and the best you can. Every kid is different and you'll figure this out.
