Well, Samantha woke up again last night at 10pm and 1am. I tried just giving her water at 1am as Dr. Pangburn suggested, and she had a hard time going back to sleep. I finally got her sleeping again, but she started crying before I left the room. I left anyway, figuring she'd go to sleep eventually. So we are both laying in bed, listening to her scream and neither of us getting any sleep. Matt gave up before I did and went in, and I went in a few minutes after him. Nothing we did would console her, so Matt came up with the great idea of giving her watered down formula. We tried that. She sucked down 4 ounces of formula, yelled when it was done, sucked down the next bottle of two ounces, rolled over and was asleep in minutes. She sucked down the 6-ounce bottle when she woke up this morning at 7am too. I doubt she'll eat much breakfast, but we needed sleep! I'm surprised she didn't sleep later when she was so well fed, but maybe her very wet diaper kept her up this morning? It must have been cold.

We have plans to wean her off the bottle this weekend. Plans for two very tired and grumpy parents. And somehow in all this we have to get the yard cleared up for the winter.
