Night 1 of cry it out

So last night was our first night of cry it out. I say it was our first night because it was the first time we have put Kale in his bed awake and made him go to sleep with no bouncer or mommy/daddy holding him. It was just as hard as I thought it would be for me and Ryan. I explained to Ryan that I wanted him to be the one to do it; because, I knew I would cave in. I am sure Kale knows what a softy his mommy is. I am horrible aren't I? So we read him a book, fed him a bottle and at 8:15 I kissed him goodnight and daddy took him in his room. At first he was quiet and was fine. Then he realized we weren't coming back to get him and the screaming came. Normally he has started off in a whine and then it leads to screaming. Not last night he started out with full blown whailing. After we laid him down Ryan waited for five minutes and then went in there to comfort him. He would actually calm down while Ryan was in there but with the strategy we are using you can only stay in there comforting for five minutes. So everytime Ryan left the whailing began again. It was so hard for me to hear I had to walk outside quite a few times. I just couldn't take it. At one point Ryan had to walk to the nieghbors house to get their dog, Duece, that we are watching for the weekend. The five minutes of letting him cry with no comfort was up while he was away so I had to go in there. I was right when I said I am not good for the job. I am stressed about hearing him cry and Kale is stressed about us letting him cry...so he did not calm down AT ALL for me. I really think I just made things worse. So, Ryan walked in the door went in there and Kale calmed down. Pretty much this process went on until 8:45, then Kale was asleep. It was way harder than I thought it was going to be :( however; I know the end result will be amazing. I caught a glimpse of it last night. I went to bed around 9:40 because I was just beat. I woke up this morning at 5:50 to Ryan's alarm and Kale had not woken up yet. We went back to sleep and then Ryan got up at 6 ish to start getting ready. I was sure Kale would be getting up at any minute to eat. Nope..Ryan left and I waited for that to wake him up because the boy usually has a 7th sense and is up as soon as daddy walks out the door. Nope..he stirred just a little but didn't start fussing so I didn't go in there. The kid slept until 8:30 no wake ups even for a bottle :)....It was a great first night. Hopefully they will all be like this and this wasn't some kind of fluke. So, so far this whole process is going well...Let's hope it keeps going this way!!!!
