Sleep training - night 4

I wanted to write all this down, because I know eventually, with future babies, I will have to do this again.  However, I am assuming it won't be as traumatic because I will then be a "veteran momma" who is way more laid back, right?

Anyway, Abby went to bed last night about 7:30. I went in to feed her about 10:00 before I went to bed.
We had one bit of crying that lasted ~30 minutes from 2:52 to about 3:28 (can you tell I was watching the clock? Abby was only up for that time, I was up for about 30 minutes after that....Oh the joys of getting all worked up in the night and not being able to fall asleep again).

She cried a bit at 7:00 and Steve and I both said, "Yep, right at 7:00, she is on schedule").  We laid in bed, fell back asleep, and woke up at 7:45!  It is 8:11 and she is still sleeping.

Naps were off yesterday.  She ended up getting three because her two regularly scheduled naps were short, so at 4:30 she had a little power nap to get her through the rest of the evening.

I am hoping to eliminate that night time cry soon, but having a baby who is in her bed (mainly sleeping) for 13+ hours is pretty incredible.

 (When Abby wasn't sleeping I HATED hearing about how other people's babies were sleeping, HATED it, like "I want to push you down" hated it.  It was hard for me to realize, but I needed to do this for Abby.  Her crying was probably upsetting me more than it was her.  Now, we are on the right track to getting her to soothe herself.  I know there are going to be changes that happen that could throw this off, but I feel like I accomplished a huge task, and when she is crying at night (those 30 minutes take FOREVER) I have to remind myself that this is what Abby needs and it is good for her).  I am not, by any means, saying this is the way you have to "train your child" it is what I had to do to keep my sanity.  You do what is best for your kid.
