Last night Owen woke up around 3:45 screaming/crying. I went in to check on him and he grabbed me and so I picked him up. This is the first time I have ever picked him up like that (in the middle of the night) because I feel like it makes it worse, but for whatever reason I did last night. He calmed down, laying in my arms with me rocking him, but then when I tried to lay him back down - more screaming. I left him and waited several minutes...still screaming. I went in one more time and then he finally fell back asleep around 4:45.
But I just don't get it. Was it a night terror, was he lonely, did his tummy hurt? I don't know what it was and still don't. I am just hopeful that it doesn't happen again - I feel so bad for him!
I will say that even though it was 4am and I was tired, it made me so happy to have my little boy snuggling with me while I rocked him. He doesn't sit still anymore, so to have him cuddle with mommy was extra special - no matter the time! :)
