Monday's Sleep Training

So I'm going to adjust my sleep training days. Today I am considering it to be my Day 2 of sleep training and weaning. After yesterday's experience, I am overwhelmed by how today is supposed to have gone. 

Yesterday, we (Graison and I) experienced NO NAP.  We tried the "Cry It Out" method, we tried a bottle with warm milk. He FINALLY fell to sleep...or so I thought.  He slept maybe 20 minutes total and woke up. I went to see if he was going to fall back asleep (now thinking I jumped the gun) and HE FLIPPED OUT!!  So I left the room and tried again.  Long story short, I ended up getting him and holding him in the rocker to comfort him, then went back upstairs to watch football with uncle Ryan and aunt Stephanie while I did homework.  

When it came to bedtime, we started all over. I had high hopes thinking he would be exhausted from not nappin, crying, playing, and eating. We even started a routine for bed: eat, play it off, bath, read, bed.  This time we skipped the milk and ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! To shorten the story again, he ended up CIO with intervals of me comforting for about an hour with no success. I ended up having to hold and rock him to sleep, with his death grip around my neck and face close to mine. Don't get me wrong that part was the sweetest thing, but it also broke my heart.  I had already cried earlier at nap so I wasn't going to give in again. Once he was asleep, I tried laying him in his bed but he startled. So instead, I decided he could lay with me. We went all day without boob, until about 3-4 AM today.  I figured it's fine since we went all day without a feed and this little morning feed was basically to go back to sleep. That and I don't want to get mastitis that would effin suck! Excuse my language. 

So hopefully tonight will be awesome and things will go well, I will update as soon as I can.  On another note, IM AN AUNTIE!!! My brother in law and his girlfriend (Ryan and Stephanie) are pregnant.  I knew since Friday, but we went today for an ultrasound thinking she was maybe 8 weeks and found out she is 17 WEEKS!!! We couldn't believe it!  They may also be having a girl, but won't know for sure until the next US.  Being that it maybe in 3-5 weeks I think it's safe to say little whosit is a princess Isabella Noelle Turner👑. I'm going with Steph to meet her doctor tomorrow!
