night terrors?
well i had the best intentions of getting up, having a peaceful morning, going to work, and even picking up a couple of extra houses to clean today and tomorrow. it appears that is not meant to happen... jah isaac woke last night terribly upset.
i am doing some research to see if he is having night terrors. from what i can tell these episodes are not fitting strictly into the definitions that i find. key elements: within two hours of bedtime, cannot rouse the child or get a response from them. with isaac these are happening well into the the night, and i can get him to respond to me. (at least in the sense that he will answer yes and no questions.) his breathing is elevated, and he is unconsolable.... but i have not been able to get clear on if he is having bad dreams, or some kind of pain.
the fact that my night of sleep was destroyed and i called into work is not the issue really (because i don't mind bearing the brunt of helping my baby). i worry about him sometimes. he comes off so active and grown up and seemingly without a worry, but in those moments he is just my little baby, as he will always be on some level. and i don't want anything in the world more than i want him to be healthy and happy, safe and sound.
