That was the sound of the toilet flushing all my efforts away. After basically abandoning our schedule and napping a mere 45 minutes yesterday, Georgia woke at 3:30am and shouted for an hour until both B and I were lying there wide awake, whisper-screaming at each other as we debated whether we should go in and quiet her down or let her CIO. We tried giving her water twice, going in and shushing her three times, and finally giving in and giving her her bottle at 4:30.
Once again, we are whipped.
About Me
- Nicole
- Born in the Midwest, where I grew up to be a typical golden haired cheerleader/class president/most likely to succeed. And then I said, its not enough. So I ran away to boarding school where I learned to be a true global citizen, have a conscience, and look beyond the superficial to see the commonalities that unite us all, which basically means that I got fat, stopped dying my hair and shaving my legs, and- I admit it- wore some flannel. But then I came to Paris and saw the error of my ways (as far as personal hygiene was concerned) and met the love of my life. After an all too brief love-affair with Scotland (where I also did a bit of studying and got myself a degree) I returned to Paris where I now live. I tried a few different careers, none of which took, and so here I am, a stay-at- home mom to a gorgeous little girl named Ella, waiting for the next thing to come along and grab my attention. And also trying to live as big as I can while I am young (and still a little bit golden...)

Hi Nicole...so is it okay if we become friends? Because I have been searching for someone to live vicariously through, and they have to live in Paris.
On the sleeping bit...I found the sleep bible of all sleep bibles...
The Sleep Easy Solution...here is a link:

sorry that was long!!
Anyhoo that book saved my life, literally. If you do just as it says it will work, everyone I have referred it to has had success.
it is for ages 4 months to five years.
Anyways, you will be seeing more of me!
Thanks for the sleep advice. Like I said, I am up for anything. Generally, the books focusing on getting babies to sleep, and we have no problem with that- she lays down and closes her eyes. I need help making her stay asleep; as soon as something wakes her up, she is done. Which obviously is a bit of a problem at 3 am...
Will keep you updated!!!
