Aren't Monday's fun?

Day 2:
    First off...last night, my husband and I decided to attempt the Ferber method on 7 month old baby boy, Tony.  He used to sleep through the night since he was 6 weeks old.  Three weeks ago, he got his first 2 teeth within three days of eachother.  Then, he got sick with a really bad cold and since then has been waking up every 2 1/2 hours to breastfeed. Not only am I exhausted, but my breasts need their rest time too. Haha!  I only had to go into his room twice before he fell fast asleep.  It killed me SO much as a mother to hear my baby crying.  It took everything in me not to cry with him. : (  He slept, last night, from 8pm-4:30am.  He nursed and went right back to sleep.  I was extatic that he slept so long.  Tonight, he fell right asleep after 3 minutes of crying.  It wasn't even a hard cry...it was just a little moaning and groaning.  Hopefully he sleeps really good tonight too.  But, I am definitely keeping my pump set up and handy tonight, because I woke up twice last night crying in pain.  Who would have thought that after 7 months of breastfeeding, I would be SO engorged and in pain.
    I worked 8 hours today.  I'm a Special Needs Teacher at a private school.  Sometimes I wonder if I should find an easier job, but then I fall in love with my kids every single day, over and over.  Their smiles are enough for me to come back each day.  And then I come home to a screaming 7 month old that wants milk, a 5 year old who is whining because she wants McDonalds and not what daddy is making for dinner, and a husband who would rather fall asleep on the couch then help me with the kids.  But, then again, it's Monday, and we know they are always a blast!
