The calm before the storm...

So as you all know, yesterday was Taryne's 4 month appointment/check up. She did great. She slept quite a bit yesterday afternoon and I am guessing because she didn't feel 100% after all her shots. Well, while at the doctor, he informed us that somewhere around 4 months, babies that tend to sleep all night start waking up and will scream and scream. He said they are sort of like night terrors. Well, Taryne has her nights where she wakes up and if I offer her the pacifier, she usually goes right back to sleep. I try not to pick her up so as not to start a bad habit.

Well....last night was something else entirely! Around 1:30 or so, I wake up to her SCREAMING and I mean SCREAMING! I first check to make sure everything is ok and then offer her the pacifier. That didn't work. The screaming continued. So...I decided to go ahead and pick her up and see if changing her would help...didn't work. I have never seen this girl scream like this before...I was so upset and I knew nothing was physically wrong with her. So I attributed it to the night terrors the doctor had told me about yesterday morning. Well, she woke up again at 4:30...same thing...and then again at 6-ish. I was beside myself because I could not calm her down...

And then of course this morning when she wakes up around 7:45, she is all smiles without a care in the world, just as if nothing happened.

Here are a few pics of her last night BEFORE she went to bed and the mayhem began...

Well...I am hoping for a more peaceful night tonight....keeping my fingers crossed...until next time...Gig'em!
