Based on the comments from yesterday’s post I realize I should have explained more.

• Aside from the other night when the Fiendling kept waking to eat every two hours I’m not unhappy with our sleep situation
• In fact I’m pretty pleased with the sleep situation.
• Even last night when the Fiendling cried until I brought him in bed with us I was fine with the sleep situation
• He slept for 5 hours straight once I let him fall asleep on me. I like that in a baby.
• I am not afraid of spoiling my infant
• I’m not afraid of rolling over on him
• I’m also not afraid of him suffocating in our blankets or pillows
• The Fiendling won’t sleep in his crib until I want him to
• He sleeps in our bed when he cries because I want him to feel safe and because I like to sleep and can’t when he’s crying. He’s also pretty cute and cuddly
• He sleeps in his own little pack and play because my husband is also cute and cuddly
• SIDS is terrifying no matter where he sleeps
• The mixed messages by people who write books about sleep frustrate me
• I think Dr. Sears has a lot of good ideas, but I sure as hell don’t want the Fiendling sleeping with us when he’s four years old
• Ferber’s whole crying it out thing makes me feel slightly nauseous, but perhaps someday, many moons from now, if we’re having major sleep issues, it won’t
• I don’t actually think an infant can manipulate an adult which is one of the many reasons I refer to Tracy Hogg as the Baby Whispering bitch
• The Baby Whisperer is a stupid whore

Now I feel better. Thanks for the encouragement, but I was just tired and thinking about stupid baby sleep books.
