not her?!

yes her. 

this little beauty

spent about 3 hours screaming her head off last night.

i was a wreck. 

i had tried everything i thought she'd need or want:

diaper change? nope

teething tablets? nope

gas drops? nope

tummy exercises? nope

food? nope

sleep? nope

rocking? nope

walk outside? nope

bounce? nope

lay on the floor and scream? yup

after her cries kept up & got louder & more shrill, i called bryan in for backup

i was sobbing as much as poor raelynn at that point (just not so high pitched).

bryan took her for a car ride at 1am and it worked. 

she stopped crying and slept until 7:30am.

wow. challenging, let me tell you. that's the first time i've ever had one of my babies cry for that long without having a clue of what was wrong or how i could make it better. i felt like a failure of a mom last night, but she woke up with a big smile....i didn't mess her up too bad, i guess.
