who took my baby & replaced her?!

Ch
The past 2 nights my LO is back to waking EVERY. SINGLE. HOUR! 2 nights ago she was up from 12-4am then every hour after that. she is able to self soothe but wont during these times. She gets upset & cries so hard. We have tried letting her CIO in 10-15 min intervals but she never settles. She will literally cry for hours if we let her (which we wont). My husband has tried patting her back to sleep, she immediately calms & quiets down but as soon as he removes his hand she is awake & crying again. We have tried a bottle, tried water, nothing works except the boob. Is this a growth spurt? I am so exhausted i have been falling asleep with her in my arms/on my boob just to hopefully get an hour of sleep in! (I have to get up at 5am for work too!) 
I feel like shes a totally different baby! I guess im looking for advice or others going thru the same thing? After all, misery loves company lol she is 6 months, 2 weeks old.
