preface: zooey has been waking up about 2-3 times a night wanting to nurse. i've been trying to wean her, but it's not going very smoothly. it would be no big deal if i didn't mind her wailing around the house, following me everywhere and then crying for like 30 min every time i put her down for a nap before she falls asleep. i had her trained to sleep through the night up until about 3 weeks ago. i'm guessing that it has been the teething that has messed it all up... just guessing. so, we are at the training stage again.
last night: she wakes up at like midnight-ish. i had turned off the monitor so i couldn't hear her wake up and wail, so i don't know exactly how long she had been crying for, but her screaming woke both scott and i up. so i did what i've always done, for her and keaton, let her cry/scream/wail. (and i am lucky in the fact that keaton sleeps through it all, poor kid gotta try and sleep through screaming.) well, this goes on for about an hour, she winds down and is quiet - ah, blessed jesus. now i can try and go back to sleep. then, we hear a click... keaton is saying, "mommy..." i cussed - not a really bad word, but a bad enough one... uh-um. then, "wwwaaaahhhh...." so, i end up feeding her and we all go back to sleep. dangit. i guess we'll try again tonight.

DANG! I hate when you get a new schedule and then it goes 'away.' Sorry. :( I'll keep my fingers crossed that this week of 'weening' is much better than last.
aw man! Hang in there :)
KELLY!!! Curser!!! Satan Worshipper!!!! just kidding of course, I don't think you even need to confess it, you didn't sin. and ZOOEY!!!! i command you to ween
You're way ahead of me in the weaning dept: Hannah was 13 months and Kate was 19 months. A word of advice: don't go to Busch Gardens to ride roller coasters 2 days after you wean her. It's not pleasant:)
i'm definitely not qualified to give weaning advice........Bella, yeah she was a little over 24 months before I was able to wean! I know that's horrible.
