Well, it wasn't much easier last night than it was on night #1. The timing was about the same. We nursed, I laid her down, and the crying began. She never went more than 5 minutes without reassurance from mommy. I never left the room. I cried silently the whole time. I picked her up twice, nursed her again once, and it took 30 minutes for her to fall asleep. A 4 minute improvement over the night before. And she slept in the crib for 4 hours - an hour better than last night. So this is progress, right? I have to believe it, because this is so hard! How long will it take to get better??? When will she stop crying so that I will stop crying???? Why do I have to feel so guilty about it??? Her crying tears my heart out... But I can't stop trying after just 2 days. It is working - as painful as it is.... It will all be worth it in the end, right??????

What a sweet picture of Jordan! As hard as it is, you will be better in the long run...evening time to yourself and with your husband!
i love reading your blog--knowing how you are feeling and how jordan is growing. it is so nice to be able to hear her say mama and dance on daddy's lap. sometimes i pull it up and watch her blow raspberries, take toys out of toy box and say mama again. it always makes me smile. it makes me feel not so 3600 miles away. kiss her for me and have her kiss you for me. mom
:( i think it depends on the baby! jacob was just like jordan in this regard, but jude doesn't seem to mind his crib or the cosleeper.
