The weekend started well with Caleb sleeping pretty good.  Friday he went for 6 hours and Saturday he went for 9 hours.  However that was short lived and he reverted back to a max stretch of 2.5 hours the rest of the week.  I try to put him to sleep by 9 or so.  Between 9 pm and 5 am, he's up at least 3 times.  When he wakes up between 5-6 am I take him downstairs and am usually successful in getting him back to sleep again within the hour (after eating).  I nap during this time too.  Last night was rough as every time he was up, I spent at least an hour to hour and a half trying to get him back to sleep.

He's still doing the crying/screaming in his sleep.  I can rock him and he'll calm down, but when I stop, he starts screaming again.  I end up unswaddling him and feeding him.  While I'm changing his diaper, he typically passes a ton of gas.  Poor little man just seems to have to much gas and stomach pain.

I decided to take him to the Dr. today because I kept a food log the past week and there's no one food I can attribute to his fussiness.  It seems that the same stuff I ate this week was the same stuff I ate a few weeks ago when he was sleeping much better so I'm at a loss.

We were able to see his normal Dr. today (who we just saw last Friday) and with the lack of improvement from Caleb she referred us to a pediatric GI specialist.  She says he is growing just fine but we need to figure out how to make him happy.  I have an appointment with the specialist on Tuesday so hopefully she can help shed some light on the situation.

I go back to work in two weeks and our family can't function with this little sleep!
