Nightmare

Carina was so fussy last night from 8pm to 11pm. She was crying on and off and nothing satisfied her. After I fed her at 11pm. She was sleeping pacefully. I though I’ll have a good night sleep. But around 2am, I heard Colton was crying and screaming “ma ma ah…. ma ma ah……” I rushed into his room and he was holding me so tight. I think he just had a nightmare. Then I held him on my arm till he was drowsy. Once I put him down, he was fully awake and didn’t let me go. So I said “ma ma is staying with you on bed. Let’s go to sleep.” Then he held my hand, laid down and didn’t say anything. His eyes were wide opened. Looked like he was afraid to close his eyes. Then I sat by his bed and held his hand. I stayed there for about 30mins. He was still awake. Then I waved my hand and say goodbye to him. He didn’t say anything. So I went back to sleep. One hour later, I went to check him. He was still awake. He saw me but didn’t make any noise. After nursing Carina at 6:30am, I checked Colton again. He was fully awake , calling “ba ba… ba ba…” and wanted to go out of the room. So I carried him to my room. So basically me and him didn’t sleep at all.

So this afternoon, I put him down at 12:30pm and wish that he could nap for at least 2 hours. Unfortunately, he was up at 1:30pm. 

It’s a tough day!……….
