me and my house

i think i'm in love.

i didn't plan it and i never thought i'd feel this way, but i have developed serious deep feelings for dr. richard ferber, author of 'solve your child's sleep problems'.

after only 2 nights of following the plan in his book, lily woke up just once last night for the first time in over 2 months. i'd say on average i was getting up 6-8x a night with her while she cried for her pacifier and had to put it in her mouth 2-3x to get her to go back to sleep. let's do the math, shall we? that would be me out of bed putting a pacifier in her mouth 24x a night.

last night was the first time i've slept comfortably in my own bed (rather than the guest bed upstairs by her room at least half the night) and i don't feel like a zombie this morning either.

so you can see why my heart flutters a little bit when i think about the good doctor. bless that man. bless him.
