Nap

I've always been a good sleeper. Always. I've been the type of sleeper who needs a good nine hours to stay at my best. As far back as I can remember, I've fallen asleep between 8:30-9PM, and have woken up between 6-7AM.

Until Declan.

Am I the only mom who's child hasn't slept through the night? Correction, he did spend one full night in his crib. But this kid wants to party all the time. He must have spent a previous life in NYC circa 1976 because he is a master power-napper.

I'm sure most of the cause of my lack of sleep is my own paranoia. The first 3 months, I was scared that he would stop breathing. I also get OCD in my thoughts about his comfort. Is he too hot? Is he too cold? Will he get a kink in his neck if he sleeps like that all night? I need to give the boy some room, I know. I fully understand my crazy about him sleeping.

I've reach the point, at 11 months in...that I want him to sleep so bad, I am willing to let him scream it out. That has been the hardest part for Dann and I. Declan has never been a fussy baby, never a big crier. So when he is scream crying in the next room...it breaks our hearts and will power.

Will this issue fix itself?
