Well, we have quite the jokester on our hands. Lucas decided to play an April Fool's joke on Wally and I...he made us think for almost one week straight that he was sleeping through the night, and then last night he got us. He just fooled us into believing that we would be getting a full night's rest from now on!
Last night he woke up at 10:30 hysterically crying. This was not funny at all. Both Wally and I were really worried - we have never heard him cry like that before and there was nothing we could do to calm him for quite awhile. He finally took a couple of ounces from his bottle and fell back asleep. All we can think was that it was gas pains possibly...very scary though. Then he decided to wake up to say "hi" for a bit around 3:00. I was able to rock him back to sleep pretty easily. Then he woke at 5:15 and was not happy. He had his morning bottle and went back to sleep for another hour or so before having to get ready for the day.
Last night was just a joke right?!?! We will be back to sleeping through the night tonight, won't we??? Let's hope!
(P.S. Wally and I are fully aware that there will be nights like this, especially when he starts teething, and that is fine - sometimes I miss him in the middle of the night! But 6 nights in a row of 7 hours + of straight sleep for Wally and me was a wonderful feeling and he certainly had us fooled into believing it would continue on forever....LOL)
Here is a picture of how he started his little joke - sound asleep!
