We went away for 2 nights to visit family, and LMW has decided to just throw our previous life out the window. We used to have a 15 min bedtime routine of bath, lotion, books, songs, put down and then she'd fall asleep on her own and sleep all night. She was having some pretty early wakeups lately but I figured it was just a phase.

During the trip we had to sit in the room until she fell asleep, and she woke early as usual, but nothing I didn't really expect.

Last night was our first night home and I had to sit in her doorway for hours until she was sound asleep. Every time I tried to leave she immediately stood up and started crying and gagging. She has been vomiting while crying lately. But she finally fell asleep, and then woke at 430am and cried and vomited. So Wagon Sr. went in and held her in the glider for another 2 hours and they both dozed for the rest of the morning.

Tonight I had to sit at her doorway again, and this time it only took an hour until she was asleep, but she woke crying at 1230 and is still crying. We never sleep trained her, and she is a stubborn one, so I'm totally at a loss. I'm pretty sure if I brought her into our bed she would sleep. But I'm also pretty sure she would never sleep a wink in her crib ever again. I'm torn between figuring out a way to get her used to her crib again and just bringing her into bed so we can all get some sleep.

She is almost 20 months old.

Some people ask how I do it all with 2 young kids and working.. It's because we never had sleep issues other than some early wakeups! I cannot do this...!
