FB free and a short sleep training recap

Wednesday was my first day completely Facebook free. It is freeing, but has shown me that I don't spend as much time on there as I imagined. I'm still super busy and some things still don't get done each day, but I guess that's just the way things go when you have a toddler, let alone a toddler, a baby and a husband who works randome hours any give day. I'm still glad I'm doing this break. It has made sticking to our new schedule so much easier since I'm able to keep a better eye on the clock. Plus, I've had some time to get crafty again. That has been pretty awesome. I'm almost done with this little octopus. I added two more legs, but need to add another and close her up. This is my fist attempt at something like this. I'm actually kind of proud of it.

I also started sleep training my sweet little baby. I couldn't continue waking every 1 - 2 hours a night, every night. 

Quick recap. Night one sucked. Lots of crying in the beginning and quite a bit of wake ups throughout the night. Night two sucked too. Same as night one, except a million more wake ups and only 3 hours of sleep for me, which I got when I turned off the sound on the monitor at 3am and slept until 6. That was a hard choice to make, but our room is close to hers so I figured I'd hear her if she got too upset. She didn't and I was able to get some sleep so I could function the rest of the day (I miss my naps). Night 3 wasn't so bad. I actually had some good sleep breaks. Night 4 and 5 were awesome. Lots of sleep for us both. I didn't even have to go into her room once last night. There was one point I headed to her room at 5am, but stopped before turning the knob because she had settled down on her own. Now were on night 6 and things kind of got off track. We had to run errands in between naps, which worked ok, but we let her nap a bit too long and that threw off bedtime. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed I still get some sleep tonight. Overall I will say that I'm really happy with this whole thing. I could do without the crying and fussing for 45 mins, but the sleep that comes is worth it for me.
