She had a normal bath and bedtime and I put her down around 8:00, then the longest stretch she slept was for two hours from 5:30-7:30! I was up so many times I lost count. I don't know what her deal is. She would start crying but it wasn't like she was in pain or hungry (I gave her two bottles during the night too which is not like her) but it was just a whine almost. I was so tempted to just put her in bed with us so I could get some sleep but I think that's part of the reason she was crying. Here lately on the days that I don't have to go into work I'll put her back in bed with me after she has already spent the entire night in her crib. It's usually around 4:30 or 5 and then she'll sleep until 8ish and I think she may just be wanting to be next to a warm body, because I snuggle her when she's in bed with me. And I'm not going to lie, I absolutely LOVE it when she sleeps in our bed! She's never slept in it with the both of us during the night, only in the mornings. So anyway, I was tempted to put her in bed but knew that wouldn't be fixing the problem, just progressing it. So when she would cry I would pick her up and immediately she would put her head on my shoulder and be asleep, so I knew she wasn't in pain or hungry because she would have kept on crying. So I would hold her a couple of seconds then place her back in her crib and she would kind of stir a little bit but still be asleep, then I would go back to bed and usually about 30 minutes to an hour later she would be crying again! Finally around 5 I started to realize that she was just wanting me, and that she was completely fine. So I put one of those little blankets that has the little toy attached to them, I call it a lovey, right next to her face and she immediately snuggled up next to it and stayed asleep until 7:30! So first of all I'm going to have to stop putting her in bed with me so often, and secondly she's probably going to have to continue to sleep with her lovey :)
It still could be her ear too. We found out about her ear infection last Friday and she's been on amoxicillin but every once in a while she'll be fussy and start rubbing her ear. I hope it's not that, but I can't rule it out. And I even gave her Tylenol last night because I thought that might be it, but I didn't even notice a change once I gave it to her. We have her four month well check next Friday and they said they'll check her ears at the same time, so hopefully it's cleared up by then!
I try to send as many pictures of Korbyn as I can to Colton when he's gone and one day he said, "send me a picture of you! I miss you too you know!" awwww
