I have a lot of ideas about parenting, about what to do and how to make things happen. Slowly I'm breaking down. It's true.
Amy is not a stellar sleeper. By not stellar I mean, doesn't want to nap unless she's right next to me and wakes at night. A lot. Especially with all of the moves and different sleeping situations, there were some nights in the hotel where she was waking 5 or 6 times a night.
I have tried to do sleep training but there were limitations with our two bedroom condo and a hotel room with people all around. To some extent, we had to help her sleep, no matter what.
I have been weary. Which I think is beyond tired. I'm not complaining, I just think this is probably a part of parenthood that I should remember that I survived.
Things have been gradually improving as we get more and more settled in. But this week, a huge change came. I broke down and started using white noise. It was one of those things that I didn't want to use because she should learn to sleep without it but now, I'm a believer. She is napping! She is falling asleep at night! She is sleeping!!
A few more nights of this and I might actually feel like a person again. White noise. Best invention ever.
