Wow. Today was rough. Really rough. The day started at 12:15am, when Luke awoke for his first feeding (after going to bed/bassinet at 10:30pm). He went back to sleep easily around 1:15am. However, he awoke again at 3:15, 5:15, and 6:30am. Then, he basically didn't sleep from 6:30am until 7:00pm. He got a few zzzzzzz here and there, but never anything substantial, and he stayed awake for longer periods of time than he has ever before. He also cried and fussed more today than any other day. A big problem was that he wouldn't eat a lot at one time, and after he ate he was clearly uncomfortable if not in pain. I'm not sure what's going on with him. Last night I was convinced that it was reflux. I still think that's part of the issue though this afternoon I think it was mostly that he was overly tired. Finally, he fell asleep at the grocery store around 7pm. (Side note, the grocery store was our big Saturday night out! Times sure have changed. It was a triple coupon event at Harris Teeter so we were pretty excited.)
My parents tell me that I had colic as a baby. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to them! I got a glimpse today of what they must have gone through with me. Yikes. I'm very sorry Mom and Dad.
The only silver lining here is that a bad night is usually followed by a good night. So, here's hoping for a good night tonight!!!!!!!!! Sleep would be good. I don't think I even got 4 hours last night.
We obviously did not have time or energy or any desire to take a picture of Luke today! So, here's one from another, better day:

Sorry to hear about the rough night... right there with you if it makes you feel better. Call if you need to commiserate. Given the 3 hour time difference, I'm likely still up well into the middle of your night!
