It's 3am and where are YOU?

I can answer where you are. You're snuggled in bed while your babies that sleep through the night are angelically sleeping in their beds. If you don't have kids, then you're snuggled in bed.

And I'm wide awake.

Someone Who Shall Remain Nameless has been up for over 2 hours. Why, you ask?

I'll tell you why. She was hungry. But, no, unlike every other hungry baby, she will not eat. She must scream for 2 hours. The screaming will stop if you pick her up and hold her, but the moment you put her in her crib or try to feed her, she will scream.

There's some genius who is staying in this house (but doesn't permanently live here) who says she's fussy and wakes because she's, get this, tired. Yes, that's why she's up for 2 hours screaming in the middle of the night. Whenever I'm tired, I scream for 2 hours too.

The Patron Saint of Getting a Child to Eat (Darling Husband S) finally finally finally got her to take 2 ounces at 3am. And guess what? She fell asleep. Now with a normal baby this would have happened at 1am, since that's when she originally woke up.

The ILs are really piling the solids into Julia. She easily took in 500-600 calories of solid foods today. That part is great. But her liquids were weak, particularly after 3pm. She only drank 3 oz after 3pm. With a tummy full of solids that weren't chewed that well, a girl needs some liquids to help digestion. But she doesn't realize she's thirsty. Or if she does, she represses it and is a disgruntled mess until you convince her to eat.

And now I'm wide awake. Thanks, Miss J.
