Dreaming Baby

I was awaken by Hannah’s cries around 5am this morning. In my mind, I was like “What?! I thought she had no problem sleeping through the night. Oh no…don’t tell me this is a start of her waking up …*mumbles*”

Since she was crying already, I switched on her room lights to check on her. I noticed that her eyes were shut but she was crying and sucking her fingers. Check check here, touch touch there. Okay, she wet her bed. So I changed her diaper and bedsheet. She opened her eyes briefly and smiled at me while I cleaned her up. Ya, thank you for waking your mother up ah. I carried and patted her saying things like going back to sleep and then put her back to bed. She whined a bit and then knocked out after 5 minutes. Yay. :P

Both of us (Hannah and mother) had problems waking up later in the morning. But I dragged myself out of bed in order not to delay her first feed. While getting ready, I heard her cry again. Went into her room to check and this time, she was crying in her sleep. Sniff sniff here and sob sob there. There were no tears, she was firing blanks. It dawned upon me that she might be dreaming of herself crying earlier on as well. On one hand she looked like so poor thing and I wanted to comfort her but on the other hand, I couldn’t help but just watch and think that she was so cute la.

I quickly grabbed our video camera to record this episode. I wonder whether she will continue to cry like that in her dreams. I’m seen her smiling while asleep but not crying. Read that it is normal for babies to cry in their sleep. So much for the morning drama :)
