We've been letting the baby CIO (cry it out) this week during the night. Sometime around her first birthday my left eye began to twitch and I was seeing things moving about the house that were not there and I decided that, ok. Enough was enough. The girl is old enough now to sleep. All night. Damnit.
So Monday was not too bad. Only twice did she have to cry for any period of time. Tuesday was, well not good. No. It was BAD. Really really BAAAADDD.
I would not be stupid enough to come here and announce to you all that she sleep through the night last night, because I know what it means to jinx oneself, and I am not about to jinx myself. Oh no way, no how.
So.
To recap:
The baby certainly DID NOT sleep all through the night last night and I AM NOT full of sunshine and rainbows and happy unicorny leprechauns today.
So you don't have to leave a bunch of congratulatory comments for me.
Your effort is moot though since Nana will be catering to her every whim in a few days, no?

this is NOT a congratulatory comment.
i will keep my fingers crossed that she ... doesn't... sleep through the night again tonight!
:-)
hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

Well I'm not going to say congradulations. I wouldn't want to jinx it.

Not saying nuttin'...
Obviously TGA doesn't know that I'm sleep deprived also and not really interested in cutting my own throat... ;-)
Leprechauns? Hmmmmn.

Ooohhh... bummer. Sorry that didn't work out for you.

Sunshine? Rainbows? Leprechauns? I want some of what you're taking;)

Ok then, better luck next time. Certainly this is not any sort of congratulatory note since the baby clearly did not sleep through the night last night.

So sorry to hear that things did not work out and that Baby JuJu did not sleep through the night. I hope she continues to not sleep through the night, especially seeing as how you are now well-trained to get by with only ten minutes' sleep here and there. And soon, perhaps she'll not sleep on a regular schedule!

If you figure the sleeping trick out PLEASE share with the world!!! My BF's kid slept through the night at 7 weeks.... DAMN THEM! Good Luck!

well if it HAD worked I would totally congratulate you but since it didn't then I won't.
Cause that would just be silly.

Sleeping through the night is a myth sold to us by the makers of Ambien.
