Midnight Scream

Andrina has been sleeping through the night for about a week now. So Tom and I were really scared and surprised when she woke up last night at midnight, screaming! I'd never heard her cry and scream like that before. I went to her immediately and she would not stop screaming! Changed her diaper, which was barely wet, took her temperature, which was a perfect 98.6, rocked her, and cuddled her. She'd quiet down as if everything was ok for a minute then start screaming again. So we got the bottle ready and Tom fed her. That was what she wanted. Plain and simple. Food. Now. Instant gratification. That was all weird because even when she was a newborn and woke up to be fed, she did not scream like that. I hope that was a one time thing. I guess she had a bad dream (can babies really have bad dreams?) and that combined with wedging herself into the narrow ways of the crib must have really freaked her out. Thankfully this morning she was back to her usual happy baby self. She only cried out a little, like ususal when she woke up, and was talking to herself when I got her out of her crib. All seems well, I even got her usual bright smile when I said good morning to her (side note, isn't that just the best thing when you're baby is so happy to see you?). We'll have to see how it goes tonight. I hope you sleep better tonight My Love.
