Stuck

Xavier's sleep has definitely improved. The method worked, too. I gradually moved out into the hallway where he could still see me and he was okay with it. Until two things happened: he stayed the night at Grandma and Grandpa Corr's house and he started teething.

The night at G&G Corr's through him off. He flipped when I tried to sit in the hallway his first night back. In fact, I had to move all the way back to the crib to comfort him. He was also waking up screaming due to his I-teeth coming in. I've moved to just inside the door but now, I'm stuck...and running out of time.

I need to move out to the hallway. I will do it. I just don't have faith that we will get beyond this point and we need to. I need to be able to put him in his crib and walk out of the room while he falls asleep. Being 8 months pregnant, it is becoming more and more difficult to sit on the floor sometimes for 10 minutes and sometimes for 45.

For those thinking I'm being to soft about this, I do have a few choice words for you but I'll pick these ones: cry it out doesn't work for him or me. He gets so worked up he won't sleep and then he pukes. I don't want him to go through that. Tears are okay but not me just shutting the door and walking away while he cries (see previous posts). I really do like this method and this along with prayer has been going well.

Now, I just need to have faith I can get unstuck before the baby arrives.
