But I do think we might have gotten this sleep thing down for the moment. She continues to need only 3-5 minutes of patting and shushing to go to sleep at night now. And this evening, she woke up crying at 9:30pm (she has a BAD diaper rash and I think she peed and it burned, waking her up) and I nursed her and put her back in the crib. She's still there.
That's NEVER happened. Ever. Usually if she wakes up, she will not go back to sleep in the crib. I'm not sure how to feel about it... mixed feelings of gratitude that she is able to go back to rest without being next to Mommy, and sadness that she doesn't need me right now (she will again, I'm sure).
For the moment, I'm counting my blessings!
Now, if I can only figure out where this diaper rash came from and what to do to make it go away.....
