What?! 8.5 hours of sleep?!!

That is correct. I went to bed at 9ish last night and I woke her up at 6am. Very cool and exciting at first glance, however, she gave Jack a run for his money last night for 2 hours (until 1 am) and she was recovering from the screaming fit I imagine. I asked why he didn't wake me and he said that he was giving it until 1am and if she didn't settle he would have woke me. She calmed down at 12:50 and ended the fit with a smile apparently. What it seems to boil down to is this: She is good for 2 freak out sessions - duration approx. 2 hours each. It is a matter of when the sessions will occur in the 24 hour period. I had a smallish manageable one in the afternoon and when she didn't have her 8pm freak out I wondered when that was going to occur. I was banking on the 3:30am feed with me but it was Jack's feed. I rolled over in bed this morning and glanced at the clock...WHAT 6AM!! is she ok? did I feed her at 3:30 and forgot about putting her back? is she breathing? She gobbled her bottle down and wanted to go back to bed so that is what she is doing now. So, I am happy and thrilled that I got 8 hours but I am sad that her and Jack had to go through that. I wonder what physically and mentally is happening with her when she cries like that.

Hopefully I can take some pictures of her today all dressed up. I will see if she is up for it.
