Screams to Smiles...

See this cute little girl?  Isn't she sweet?  Yes.  But, did you know this sweet little bugger woke up 3 times in the middle of the night last night?  And guess who got up with her each and every time?  Uh-huh... you mom's can see where this is going.

We are going to be in the midst of WWIII here in Lynamland, beginning tonight.  But first, a little back story...

For the last 3 months (I know, I know... 3 months is too long), Lovebug has been getting up in the middle of the night and crying.  At first, I thought it was because she was in pain from her teeth... then I thought it was pain from her other teeth... and her other other teeth... and now the last one.  But now, I think it's gone a bit deeper than a little tooth pain.  She needs me.  Scratch that.  She thinks she needs me.  What mommy doesn't want to come to the cries of her baby girl?!?  Yeah... but it's not helping anyone. 

Last night was the breaking point.  When Coach got up with her at 3:40am, she started saying "mama, mama, mama".  {insert broken heart here}.  I knew I had created a monster.  The screams, the cries, the whines, oh my!  

However, it's come to the time that the screams and cries and whines are going to *hopefully* turn into smiles... the smiles of all 3 of us when we can go a whole night that Lovebug sleeps.  Or at least soothes herself back to sleep.

Please wish Coach, Lovebug, and I good luck in this venture.  I'm not sure who it is going to be harder on.
