Night Terrors

Linda gave Terry the scare of her life last night.

Elizabeth has been having some trouble sleeping lately because of a very stuffy nose. She woke up sniffing and snorting and in need of a late nite snack at about 3:45. Terry and I usually try to calm her down as quick as possible when she wakes up because we don't want her cries to wake Linda up. Terry brought Elizabeth into our bed and was laying down feeding her when, unbeknownst to us, Linda heard the commotion and tiptoed into our room to investigate. We didn't hear her get out of bed on the baby monitor, and she's so light that floorboards didn't even creak when she walked over them. I was laying down and facing Terry when Linda came up behind her and put her hand on Terry's waist. She's so tiny that I didn't even see her behind Terry's silhouette. The terror on Terry's face and the yelp she let out made me jump.
