The downside

    So I'm feeling like a terrible mom right about now. I know I'm not, but I kinda feel that way.  Emily Grace cried herself to sleep. She's been cranky ever since she got her shots yesterday. Crying, clingy etc... I've been trying to get her to sleep since about 9pm. She'd eat for a bit then start screaming, I'd rock her, she'd calm down then start screaming. I could just feel myself get frustrated with her. I know it sounds like a horrible thing. If you have kids you understand. If not, give me a call when this happens to you and I'll give you a listening ear. So I did what everyone told me to do. If your getting frustrated put the baby in a safe place and go calm down.  So I put Emily in her crib and walked away. I sat here on the couch and listened to her scream for about 2-3 minutes until she quieted down and I calmed down. When I walked over to the crib she was asleep. Then I felt like crying.  I know I did the right thing, but I feel horrible.  I hate these nights.
