I swear I must be going deaf. I have a constant ringing in my ears - thank you very much Zofia. Her screaming! Even the smallest wimper, and it's not that small, is making my eardrums ache. I think I need to wear earplugs. I would like to cuddle her when she's at her absolute worst, but the pain! So it was bad enough that I lost the ability to hear low tones (sorry, Steven) but now I'm beginning to lose the high range too!
We are still struggling with sleep. It's gotten to the point that we (meaning Steven) have to wear her down for naps and at night. I'm pretty annoyed at the whole thing, actually. She was doing so well before and now she's a screaming maniac when it comes to sleep. What are we doing wrong?!
It is a very demoralizing thing to have your baby scream and scream, day after day, night after night. And I feel guilty for being mad because I know she can't help it. But I am mad and frustrated. Why doesn't she just stop screaming and GO TO SLEEP FOR GOODNESS SAKE?!

Sleep, perchance to dream
Just when you think you've got it all figured out, they go and change the game!
Zofia was such a good sleeper. We were diligent at watching her cues and when we took her to bed, she didn't fuss at falling asleep. Alas, I have just spent the last 2 HOURS getting Zofia to bed. She has become increasingly agitated at sleeping in her crib. Last night we attributed it to the chocolate cake I ate in the evening, but tonight I have no clue why she's so disorganized.
What frustrates me the most is that she falls asleep nursing and is quite content to lay on the Boppy asleep. She plays possum really well! So tonight I had to nurse, pat, shush, and snuggle her to sleep for 2 hours.
I'm hoping this is a phase and not an omen of things to come!
