No Doubt About It:

Last night, was a LONG night. Makayla is very good about going to bed, and sleeping through the night. But these past few night, she has screamed herself to sleep...I tried EVERYTHING. Rocking her in the rocker until she was a sleep would work until I would lay her down in her crib and she would scream. I would pick her up and cuddle, go to lay her back down, and again I would get screams. Last night was horrible. It took an hour and a half to get her to sleep. She finally fell asleep at 10:30, but on her tummy. She hates being on her tummy, and she has never fallen asleep on it. So of course I was worried. At 1 am, she woke up, and would not go back to sleep. So i decided to take her to the ER, to make sure it wasn't her ears again. We got to the hospital, and luckily no one was waiting, so we went right back. She had to have a rectal temperature, (which was way sad, even though she didn't seem to notice what was happening to her!) the doctor came in, and she is PERFECTLY FINE. I guess that's great, but I know something is upsetting her. She has been fussy lately, and that is just not her. I'm hoping it is just her teeth coming in, and not the beginning of her being sick :( So she gets Tylenol before bed to help her sleep. Anyways, the whole time at the hospital, she was wide awake, and all smiles. Not cool when I'm trying to tell the doctors whats wrong. We got home at 3:o0, and she didn't go to bed until 4:30! UGH it was horrible! I hadn't been to bed, but I didn't want her to scream herself to sleep again, so I waited until she was ready again for bed. Then this morning at 8 am, she was wide awake and ready to be up. But as long and stressful as my night was, I would do it every night if i had to, just to make sure she is okay.
