one long night

well, we've officially been initiated into the world of parenting... we made the middle of the night trip to the ER. sweet nuggie had a colossal meltdown. she's a fussy baby, but this was an all time record screaming fit, even for her. and we couldn't console her. i tried. bub tried. we bounced. we tried bottles. we used baby tylenol. we rocked. and walked. and listened to music. nothing. nothing would calm her down. so i thought something was seriously wrong. we loaded her up and headed to the children's hospital. she cried all the way there and cried all through triage. and then we settled into the waiting area and the little stinker calmed right down. we were there about two hours and she was calm as can be. so we asked if we could take her home. a doctor came out and gave her a quick check over and couldn't find anything wrong with her. nothing. thank the Lord for this, but she sure did scare us. i was sure something was seriously wrong. she had to go see her pediatrician this morning, just to make sure all is well and he confirmed it. she's healthy as can be. i just wish i knew what upset her so much last night. she was hysterical. cried so much her little eyes were bloodshot and she threw up. my sweet little angel. she's resting now. hope she can get some good sleep.

I'm so sorry, I would have been worried sick as well! Good idea taking her to the er though, better to be safe. Hope you all have an uneventful night tonight!!
