Max has been inconsolable the past few nights, and after much discussion, we decided to let him try and cry-it-out a little tonight.
After over an hour of screaming (with checks every 10 minutes or so), I finally rocked him for a bit and changed his diaper just to make sure I wasn't missing something. Besides the fact that he had thrown-up on himself a bit from crying so much, he calmed down quickly once I picked him up. Dang it. Now I know he's just fighting sleep.
WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!? I wish he came with a translator. I'm so tired, so frustrated, so overwhelmed.
How can I love someone so much and just want to squeeze the tears all out at the same time?!?!
If I take a couple minutes and a few deep breaths, I PRAISE GOD for the fact that I have a healthy, normally happy little miracle to call my own. He is amazing, and I really, deep down know that I wouldn't trade this for anything.
It's just reallyreally hard tonight. Dear Lord, please just help him sleep.

So sorry Anna. Hang in there...we did that with both girls and as hard as it was at the time, it was worth it in the end. You're an amazing mama!!
Ugh...I'm so sorry Anna. Call me if you need to vent. Or cry. Or whatever. Going out for a girls night tomorrow night if you wanna come!?!
yeap - nights like this happen, too. keep on praying, girl! You are right, that is the answer. Tomorrow is a new day! and this season of sleep training or whatever is going on with him shall pass, too.
I understand you Anna - I really do
