Growth Spurt
September 13, 2005
Oh boy are we in the middle of a growth spurt. And it's a doozy. She's been waking up only once (or sometimes none) per night for a while now. Usually she'll only eat for a couple minutes and then go back to sleep. But three nights ago she woke up an extra time and wanted to eat for a long time instead of just a few minutes. Then two nights ago she woke up every hour and a half and wanted to eat for 30 mintues each time. Then last night she woke up every 2-3 hours but ate for about 45 mintues. And this afternoon she was eating every hour. Then about 6:00 this evening she started screaming like she has never screamed before. Nothing we could do would stop her. Not even feeding her. Now that was a first. She has NEVER turned down food. That's like the Ace up my sleeve. If all else fails, that'll always quiet her down. But, not this time. She was screaming, and shaking, and red as a beet. We're not sure if it was teething or a tummy ache or something else, but it sounded like the worst pain imaginable. She did this for about 3 hours, and then just passed out from being so tired. She's been asleep in her swing for about an hour now, but we're not sure how long it'll last. I hope we can get through tonight unscathed and that she has a better day tomorrow.
