CIO

[mtmomx3]

Ok so Liv was a huge pain yesterday if I moved she screamed. Well so nothing was making it better so my hubby decided to put her in her crib and let her CIO. I cried as uch as she did, that was aweful, I new she just wanted me but I am so overwhelmed and now on day 5 of this headache so he wouldn't let me get her. It was sad and aweful and I will probably kick his butt if he makes me listen to my baby cry for a half hour straight again and not be able to go get her. That SUCKED!

did it work though??
You know what really helps with me? Sometimes Brookie still has issues laying down. For the most part she'll usually go down awake...after a bottle and go to sleep on her own. She holds her blankie and rolls over on her side...
But some nights she gives me grief and starts screaming.
The routine in our house is Brookie goes down at 8pm...then I go in Mya's room...read her 3 books, then cuddle with her and talk about her day. EVERYDAY. its like clockwork (ive noticed both girls...especially Mya likes routine, and likes things the same all the time)
Anyways, it helps a lot if im in Myas room to turn on white noise or something...so I cant hear Brookie scream. I can't really handle cry it out if i can actually hear her screaming. I think its just a mommy thing. It kills me....i want to go right in there, even if im exhausted. So i usually turn on white noise while i read her books or whatever. (I keep it in her room anyways so if Brooklyn wakes up or the neighbors wake her up having sex again. lol....she cant hear it)
I had to do that lastnight. Brooklyn was really clingy...and i cant jip Mya and not read to her like normal, just because Brooklyn cries. So after i came out of Myas room Brooklyn was fine and asleep. It helped me not hearing her. My husband was home but he could give two nutss if shes crying!! It doesnt bother him

I guess the good thing about having an upstairs is I can put Abby in the room and close the door and walk away, which I have had to do lately. It sucks and it is hard, but you have to do it. It doesn't get any easier, especially if you are a good mommy and love your baby, it shouldn't get easier- it usually feels like your heart is being ripped out. I won't say stop only because they do eventually "get it", some just take a little longer. But you know, she might be picking up on the fact that you are hurting and are in pain and that may be the reason why she is acting the way she is also. Abby does that when she knows I am upset or don't feel good. They read us really well.

I hope you start feeling better soon. I know how bad this sucks for you.

Big Hugs...
