Who's Training Who?

We have been working on sleep training Nina with the Ferber method for the past six days. The last two have been nightmarish. She has figured out the last song of our bedtime routine and as soon as I finish it, she starts crying because she knows the bed is coming. Last night she cried for over an hour, but it was intermittent, making it hard for us to know when to go in to comfort her. She also woke up several times. We have stuck to the progressive schedule, we have not allowed her back into our bed, we have done everything we are supposed to do! The last two days have been worse than the ones in the beginning and I am about to give up. Fortunately, Jeff has been very supportive and is NOT ready to give up, so we'll stick with it awhile longer. So I'm tired... cranky... discouraged... and wondering when the heck this is going to work.
