Let me reiterate I’m an incredibly light sleeper. I have always have been, and now that I’m a mom, I’m secretly blaming my mother for that. We had to go through many, many, many nights over the last two years listening to August cry while he “self-soothes” himself back to sleep. Each time we hear him cry it gets easier and easier to ignore him without much guilt especially since we are crossing our fingers that he will sleep like a champ for the rest of his life. (As a side note, we’re not the Ferbers in our methods, but we do let him cry sometimes.) I’m pretty sure my mother just never let me cry because I wake up with the slightest noise, change of temperature, a light going on, or a slight 2.7 earthquake at 11pm at night. (more…)

(I’m guessing he’s in finance because I don’t know of any other industries, except doctors, that are crazy enough to wake up that early.) (more…)
