Poor little guy did a great job putting himself to sleep at 2108...I told e I'd go get him at 2113 if he didn't stop crying, but he was conked out within 2 minutes. Mama went to bed at about 2230 thinking that MJ would sleep until at least 0045, but at 2330 he was up and screaming. Her eyes were so red I knew she didn't need to be feeding him yet, so I took him and started trying to calm him down. I could hear his little belly gurgling all the while, but none of my burping seemed to calm him down the way it usually does. I finally put him over my shoulder to burp, which got him calmed down enough to suck on the great green pacifier (he does better with it than all the others). Then when he'd sucked a little while and seemed calmer, I put him in the sling. He bucked and screamed a bit longer, but he's now asleep. Hopefully I can keep him calm at least another hour so that e is able to wake up and feed him.
