Don't Know What To Think
I was so happy. So happy. I thought I had it figured out. But what I didn't factor in was that babies don't go follow a predictable pattern. You can have a great experience then have it blow up in your face. At first I was so mad. So mad. But now I've come to grips with it and will look forward, not back.
After successfully putting Abby to sleep last night, I was on such a high. Then, at 1am, she woke up. After an hour, I picked her up and cuddled her till she fell asleep - for ten minutes. So I took her into the spare room and nursed her. But as soon as she fell asleep and I put the soother in, she'd wake up and howl. She finally fell asleep around 3am still nursing. I was crushed. I figured all this good work had been ruined. But I guess I'll just have to keep at it. I can't expect her to be perfect in one day. It's going to take awhile and I need patience. I'll get there and hopefully she will too.
