Usually Adalie is such a great sleeper but has gotten into a bad rutt the past two months of not wanting to go to sleep in her own bed. I made the mistake of giving in and soon days became weeks, weeks became months and i don't want it to go on. Frankly, she is bed hog and i never get myself into a deep enough sleep because i am scared one of us will end up on top of her! lol Well, the past two nights i have been trying to just let herself cry herself to sleep and it has made me feel like such a bad mom. I just have these horrible feelings like i am abandoning her, and she will hate me forever. haha I rock her and then gently lay her in her own bed and she wails! It makes me so sad, but I honestly don't know what else to do....it seems to work it is just up to me to get through the half hour of tears, from both our sides, and hope for the best in the long run. Now, she is waking up at three in the morning screaming and i still haven't gotten myself ready to just let her cry her way through that...baby steps for mommy...baby steps...
p.s. i miss putting pics up, i feel like my site has become a little "blah" hopefully i can get it working again soon

Keep it up. She will finally get used to it and she's so young, she won't remember, let alone be traumatized by this transition. I'm sure you are the best mom ever!
i cannot co-sleep with my babies... who knows maybe they will be traumatized b/c i never let them sleep with me but i seriously doubt our children will be traumatized from having two loving parents and a wonderful home...keep up the great work!
I almost let Michael Dunn sleep with me once when he was sick but Michael told me a big fat NO! I think he was worried more about his comfort more then Michael Dunns or maybe he knew I was a sucker and loved cuddling with my son :) I am sorry she has been sick lately and sorry that you have to listen to her cry. I cry when I let Michael Dunn cry it out too...Unless it is three in the morning then I get frustated and go sleep on the couch!
