After deciding to go to bed early and setting our alarm clocks to make sure we were awake to prepare Phoebe's lunch for today, Emily decided to scare the bejesus out of us at 3 am by screaming her head off. I flew out of bed to pick her up and see if it was just a bad dream or she was hungry - nope it wasn't that and she continued to scream. We've never heard her scream and cry so loud it was heart breaking to listen to. We decided to do a pant check in case she had an upset tummy - so the pair of us ran downstairs and opened the nappy. Nope, nowt not a thing to see, and she still screamed. We were now worried as this was really begining to scare us. I picked her up and she decided to let off some ahem steam (fart) that seemed to help a little, so we put a nappy on (just in case it was more than some wind that was being released) and proceeded to hug and rock her. Drew somehow managed to calm her down and she finally fell asleep in his arms after a few sobs. We still aren't sure what the heck bothered her. Was it was an upset tummy or being too hot?
She's fine today - as if nothing had happened. Unlike the pair of us who look slightly frazzled :)

Sounds like a nightmare to me, our wee one gets them occasionally and there is no fathomable reason we can find for her freaking out like that.
Nightmare or farts or some combination thereof.
