The Doctor

It's Friday morning and I just got back from taking Anna Grace to the doctor. For the last two nights when we've gone to put her in her crib at her normal bedtime she has just cried and pitched the biggest fit - shaking her head and swinging her hands and screaming and crying. She can't be consoled... so we've been taking her into our room and letting her watching cartoons for an hour or so and then trying again. It has been about 10:00 pm before we've been able to get her to sleep in her crib.

I suspected it might be just an "I don't want to go to bed" kind of attitude, but I neeed to rule out ear infections, etc before trying the dreaded "cry it out". So... off to the doctor we went today. Her ears looked great as did her lungs. Other than a runny nose she is fine. Great news for a heart baby who it battling the flu. So.... that means tonight at bedtime there is likely to be some crying at our house.

Please be praying for Anna Grace tonight to fall asleep without a fight. I really hate to hear her cry. At the same time, I can't have her up until 10:00 every night. Seriously... I can not have her up until 10:00 every night.
