Sleeping update!

I feel like I can share some news and hopefully without jinxing myself. Shelby has done really well this week. After a rough weekend of waking up just about every hour and Shelby ending up in bed with us I decided enough was enough. I felt I was ready for a little tough love and instead of having to start over in a couple of months, I took the plunge and put Shelby to bed unswaddled! She had a crying spell on Sun. night and I held out for 40 min and she fell back asleep and did not wake up again. The exact same happened on Mon. night (just at 3 am). Tues. and Wed. went off with barely a hitch. Both of the last 2 nights, she did let out a cry/noise, but found her paci and went back to sleep. She has even taken naps this week, almost everyday, without difficulty. My baby girl is growing up!!! I definitely have enjoyed the sleep though!
