What I signed up for

I've been thinking a lot about how being a mommy has changed my life.
When we had Westen, it was a hard transition... My sleep went out the door! I hate when people ask me if he sleeps through the night... well no actually he wakes up 6-8 times a night if I'm lucky! Then the response is ALWAYS have you tried the "cry it out" method... Really?! I wish I could say "I know too much about what it does to their brains and self worth... and why they stop crying is because they lose trust in you answering their cries."... but I can't because it offends people so I just say no I haven't tried it... Elliot and I have talked a lot about how we want to parent our children like our Heavenly parents would treat us. I know that Heavenly Father answers my cries for help, and I want to do the same. Easier said than done right? I keep reminding myself that "this too shall pass." Westen is almost 7 months so I am going to try getting him out of our bed and into his crib to sleep from now on. I think that will help him because when he is sleeping by me, he thinks he can be "on tap" all night long... Hopefully it will help! Elliot has been so good at helping in the middle of the night and taking him after I feed him to get him back to sleep. Life is crazy... but this is what I signed up for :)
