gotta do what you gotta do

For better or for worse, we are "crying it out" with Robin these days. It sure is hard to lie in bed listening to your baby cry her guts out because you aren't there, especially when you know that if you get up and go to her she'll calm right down, but we're really at the end of our rope with getting up all night. It was getting ridiculous -- some nights, Robin would wake up five or six times. We weaned her off night feedings first, so she was really just waking up out of habit, not because she needed anything (other than maybe having her soother put back in her mouth). She hasn't been waking up more than once or twice a night since we started letting her cry, so maybe she's getting better at soothing herself back to sleep. I hope.

I think she still likes us.
