BReaking the midnight snack

I just got kicked out of bed. It is for the best. Acccording to the hubby. Maeve has been crying non-stop for milk since 4am and we've been trying to get her the kick the habit. If she smells me, it makes it all the more hard and it doesn't help that i turn to mush once she starts begging. It has been an hour and she's still at it while i type in the next room. It is heart wrenching to know you can end her misery so easily, but are deliberately not doing so....for the long term good of everyone. I am just pacing and trying to distract myself from the crying so that i won't dash into the room and rescue my little one. When we come back from our retreat, the plan is to migrate her to her own room and cot. Not sure how that'll work or how long she's cry, but if we were to get our nights back together as a couple, she'll have to move. I guess i'm ambivalent about it as i figure she'll only stay a baby for so long and before we know it, she won't really want to sleep with us, prefering her own space. I also enjoy the cuddles in bed, the singing and holding each other to sleep. But! i guess hubby needs his wife back and he doesn't quite appreciate Maeve's slamming her little feet into his face nightly!
