There is nothing as sweet as finally seeing your child sleep through the night when they have suffered so many before. Of course when Blue is up, I am up. At one point it had been four nights and I had gotten less than 4 hours total. I then called the doctor. I wasn't feeling really chipper so there were no pleasantries out of my mouth. I shot, " look I need this kid to sleep. Either we knock her out with drugs or I am going to lose my mind." He chuckled a little at me. I wanted to smack him throught the phone. He said that she wasn't eating and crabby because she wasn't sleeping and that it was a repetitive downward spiral. He said that I could give Blue benadryl. ( she had a runny nose too so I ddin't feel guilty at all) That night I gave her the stuff and held my breath. SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT. It was a miracle. I almost called the doctor back the next day to thank him. She woke up so much happier and hungry. YAY! And second to that I finally got to sleep.
