UPDATE Post 14
My DD, almost a year, has always been an excellent sleeper. She sleeps in her own room and always has. She goes to bed at a fairly consistent time and falls asleep on her own. I know, lucky me...she did play the "Let's test them to see if they'll come get me" game when she first started going to bed at her bedtime, but nothing in the last few months.
Now to the weird part. The last two nights, she has fallen asleep at her normal time and woken up an hour or two later screaming...I don't mean crying...I mean SCREAMING...if I had a tape recorder I could probably sell it to some horror movie producer. It sounds like someone is poking her with sharp sticks.
She's not currently teething, and she's not sick (she was just at the doc for a follow-up to her last illness). There is nothing physically wrong with her. She's dry and not hungry. She's just screaming. She will continue to scream until I go in (I waited to see if she would self-soothe the first time...15 minutes later, she was hoarse but still screaming).
Once I picked her up, she continued to cry for almost 10 minutes before calming down.
Any thoughts? DH and I are stressed to the max, and so is DD.

I'm sorry for all the stress. It's so hard when they can't tell you what the heck is wrong.
to my pal.
Hooray for Hepzibah Matilda!
My DD (14 months) had one a few weeks ago for the first time. She was pretty tired that night and she started taking steps just a few days after that. Coincidence?
