One day I will look back on all of this and think, how silly I was to cry my eyes out when my baby was crying to try to go to sleep. But right now, it just plain stinks. Everyone knows Smith is not a sleeper and he has never been. Ty and I decided it was time for little man to try to sleep and it has been terrible. He cries so hard he has the "crying hiccups" and just doesn't settle down. Ty finally went in after 30 minutes because he couldn't catch his breathe. It is just awful. UGH. I have not slept more than 3 total hours a night and it is really catching up to me now...I have hit the wall. I'm just not sure if this approach is going to work for him. We are at a crossroads.
Anyway...We just got back from a week in Chicago. Ty was out of town and my sista was going to be by herself so I decided to drive back with her on Memorial Day and then fly home. We were making great time until we hit Lakeshore drive and then we were stuck for almost 2 hours. Yuck. But, we had a great week and Smith got to see Chicago for the first time. It will more than likely be our last trip up there for a long time. They sold their house and are excepting to close on June 30th, then moving to Nashville! They put an offer in on a house and are hoping to come to an agreement real soon. I hope it works because it is in a great location and has good bones. I am still in shock that they are moving here. I honestly cannot believe it! I'm beyond excited but it still doesn't seem real to me. I actually got sad the other day when I realized they would be leaving their awesome neighborhood but then I remembered I can see them everyday if I want. It is bittersweet for them though because of the great friends they have made and the amazing place they live. I hope Nashville is just as great for them and they learn to love it. Kristen and I have talked about being neighbors for years but never really thought it would happen and now it is. Amazing is all I can say!!
This kind of breaks my heart for both of you....I vividly remember how hard it was listening to parker "cry it out". Rips your heart out. But you are right, he'll get it soon an you'll look back on this as just a rough patch. But you need sleep too so in the end this will be a good thing for both of you. I guess its a good thing you've never been a big sleeper...God was just prepping your for sweet little Smith. =)
