				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My daughter Ashton will be 6 months old in two weeks and up until this point I would say that she truly has been a very easy baby.  She is my first, and so I have nothing to compare her to; however, from what I have read, and heard from fellow moms, I can say with confidence that she is in fact an easy baby.  When I take the time to realize that she is in fact almost 6 months old, it dawns on me that I have not slept for longer than 3 hours straight in almost 6 months, a thought that is both unbelievable to me and yet, sadly feels very normal!  I have changed from a person who relied on her 8 hours of sleep a night to a person who can function off 4-5 and who must have 2 cups of coffee to start her day.  I feel very lucky in that I am taking the year off from teaching to be home with my daughter, so getting a couple hours of sleep works for me as I do not have to wake up and go to work and be a completely functioning human being.</p>

<p>However, I miss my sleep, I miss solid, uninterrupted deep sleep.  So&#8230; the time has come, whether my husband and I are ready or not to tackle the dreadful world of sleep training.  Like with most baby related &#8220;things&#8221; every baby is different and everybody you talk to who has a baby has an opinion &#8211; same goes for sleep training.  I have talked to our pediatrician, read a few blogs and websites, talked to a few friends and most importantly talked about it with my husband to come up with a plan that we think/hope best works for us.  All I know is that my daughter barely cries now, and only when she is either hungry or super tired and I fall apart, so I am not sure how strong I will be when it comes to having to listen to her cry for anywhere for 5 minutes to an hour.</p>
<p>Wish us luck &#8211; I&#8217;ll be sure to report back!</p>
