"But you don't look tired"

Just like most new parents, we've had our ups and downs regarding Lily's sleeping habits. The best (read: longest) that she has done is 6 hours straight and this only happened for 3 days in a row. I figure that I have had less than a dozen nights of sleep that involved me sleeping for longer than 3 hours in a row. Surprisingly, I don't feel awful and people seem compelled to tell me that I don't look tired (I think that this is the same as telling a pregnant lady that she looks amazing, despite the fact that she feels huge. Regardless, comments like that worked then and they work now). I had been trying to sleep in when I can and Scott sometimes takes Lily on the weekends so that I can get a few extra hours of uninterrupted sleep. However, most days I'm functioning on 6 hours of sleep or less and have been woken up 2-4 times during those 6 hours. It constantly amazes me as to how well one can function on limited sleep and ironically, I often have trouble falling asleep at night, despite the fact that I'm exhausted. Having said all this, I am getting tired (pardon the pun) of this and am preparing myself for some intensive sleep training with Lily. I've been reading a few things about sleep training and while I'm not a big proponent of 'Cry it Out', I think that we will end up using a modified version of this program. I plan to let Lily fuss herself to sleep for naptimes and I'm working on cutting out one of the night-time feeds. I know that I will still have to get up during the night sometimes to soothe her and feed her but I really am hoping that we are about to turn the corner here on this whole 'sleeping through the night' issue.
