Oh, all that being said, Olivia DOES start out in her own crib and I do my best to put her back in it after her nightime nursings....it's just that sometimes (most times) sheer exhaustion takes over and we just end up snuggling together.

Jill - I am right there with you (sort of). I NEVER would have imagined that I would let my baby sleep in the bed with me or let her use me as a human pacifier night after night after night, but I have AND dammit, I'm not ashamed of it. I am sore a lot of the times - those nights where I foolishly think it will be more comfortable for us in the bed instead of the recliner - and it makes me feel like I am so much older than I really am. I have tried the CIO and it just doesn't work for Olivia. I tried it today, in fact, while reading your post. Two different occasions of 30 minute crying spells for her nap and I just couldn't do it. Plus, we are still swaddling her at night and after letting her cry for about 10 minutes the other night, I went in to find her face down. I'm not ready for that and it looks like neither is Olivia. I'm glad for you that Ari is. You got spoiled with Ellie and her sleep habits - I'm hoping my second or third is like that. I'm gladly taking the "tough" one first!

Keep me posted on how she does.
