:relief:

happy to report that last night was much, much better. we really didn't even have to let her cry because she woke up only twice. once at 11:30, at which time she cried for about 10 minutes before going back to sleep, and then once around 3:30, at which time i fed her. then, nothing until 8!

when jared got home from work at 12:30am, there was a return note on our door from our upstairs neighbor, gary. if i get a chance i'll scan it and post it, but basically, it was the sweetest note we could have received. gary is a middle aged gay man, a teacher and he just happens to have a little dog named chloe! he applauded us for trying to teach chloe at a young age and said that he had issues with neighbors when chloe had puppies. the empathy was much needed.

i would love to say that 10 minutes of crying last night would be the end of sleeplessness, but i know that would be foolish. we've said our prayers, though, and maybe God will just work a miracle?

thanks for all your thoughts and prayers this way.

peace.
