"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength" Deuteronomy 6:5

Sometimes I just don't understand...

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! :)
