Will I ever sleep through the night again?

Sleep, sleep, sleep, oh the joys of sweet, sweet sleep! My son is still not sleeping through the night and he will be a year old next Saturday. I am not the kind of mommy that lets her boy "cry it out". I last about 5 minutes and then I am in there cuddling him and nursing him and wrapping him in his favorite blanket to make all the sniffles stop. I know I am putting myself in this position because I was the one that started the feeding and snuggling him to sleep and now I am paying for wanting that extra bonding time with my son. Really, why am I being punished because I love him so much? Crazy that it comes back to bite you in the butt. I have new determination every morning that "tonight will be different" and that I will let him cry it out and he will learn to sleep through the night starting now! But we will see...will I really do it tonight? We will see, we will see.
