Well things have started to get easier and we are slowly but surely getting into somewhat of a routine. It's not rock solid yet, but most days we are sticking with it. The last two days have been really great, Sam has started learning how to soothe himself and how to know when naptime is and when bedtime is. I put him down the last three days while he was still awake (barely, but he was still awake.) and within 30 minutes he had put himself to sleep. He's apparently likes to be swaddled, because once I started doing that, things fell into place pretty quickly, (he's my little burrito.) Once I swaddle him up and turn his lullabye's on, he starts to get droopy eyed immediately. He hasn't started sleeping through the whole night yet, but according to my books he technically does sleep through the night, since they define that as a 5 hr stretch of sleeping, and he usually sleeps from about 9:00 pm-2:00 am and then from 2:30 am-6:30 am then from 6:30 am-8:00 am. It is nice that he is sleeping more now, I just wish he wasn't such a noisy sleeper, lol, he talks in his sleep and makes noises all night so trying to train my body not to wake up unless it's an actual cry, not just a whimper, is rough. But all in all things are going really great and it's all getting a little easier. I'm definitely learning at least!
