Ferberizing Day 1 - EPIC FAIL

Is it too soon to quit Ferberizing already?  Exhaustion didn't matter to the Bug and she screamed a full hour before I got home from work.  My husband handed her over instantly - all 17ish pounds of dark circles, baggy red-rimmed eyes and hoarse voice.  Nighttime wasn't much better - she woke up at 2 and struggled for about 2 hours to go back to sleep.

Now I realize that this is going to take time.  I am fully aware that it can take weeks, BUT I'm not emotionally and physically prepared for a super extended battle of wills.  Bug is stubborn and I'm pretty sure she can carry on like this for a long time.  This does not bode well.  Should I be surprised?  Not hardly.  Because her mom?  Not so much of a great sleeper herself

On a positive note, I have been informed that she has managed to take at least an hour nap today.  At least it's better than nothing.
