Nightime is a Nightmare.

There isn't a book, blog, magazine article, or parent that I know of that I haven't picked apart trying to learn the art of the sleeping baby. Mack hates to sleep and he has since day one. I look in the mirror in the middle of the night and see an old, worn out version of me.
My husband and I have been battling the dreaded "Cry it Out," method. He wants to try it, I refuse. Six months of sleep deprivation has caused stress on our marriage, but I still can't imagine standing by while our baby screams bloody murder. At this very moment, I can hear Mack fighting his nap through our baby monitor.
Next course of action: I have to trust the Baby Whisperer. I don't know who this person is, or if he/she has ever had a non-sleeping baby; but this is my last hope. Starting to night, we will try the "Pick up, Put down," method of teaching baby to soothe himself to sleep.
Wish me luck, I crave sleep so bad that I daydream about it.
