"Sleeping Through the Night"

I've heard other moms talk about getting their babies to "sleep through the night" like it's the Holy Grail of accomplishments. Call me crazy, but I respectfully disagree.

Every night, when I hear Ayla call out for me at 2am, it makes my heart leap with joy. I jump out of bed with excitement, go to her crib, pick her up, and cuddle her with a happy heart.

When Ayla wakes up in the night, she is such a warm, happy, snuggly baby. I cherish these quiet moments in the night when it is just her and me....

Getting my baby to "sleep through the night" - not getting to see and hold my baby for 8 whole hours?? I can't think of a more horrible thing.
