Dear Colic,

October 16, 2008 By Christie

I must say that you are a most unwanted visitor. You come at a horrible hour and always stay longer than you are welcome. What are you thinking? People are trying to sleep here. Sometimes your stay is long–it’s not been unheard of for you to stick around for 5 hours. 5 hours of calm, peaceful time with our new little one that you rob from us. You become the worst at 6 weeks I’ve heard. It’s never too early to leave. Honest.
Truly,
Sleep-Deprived (truly so)

1:15 am

I in no way want to sound like I’m complaining, as I would take anything to have my children and I feel so blessed. I was just bored last night–I mean this morning–and so wrote this. I guess 3 times a charm–she has it just like my boys did–she won’t take a pacifier, and the ONLY thing that stops her crying is nursing…

for 5 hours…

Ouch.

    all i can do is commiserate. I’m so sorry. we got a nice reprieve with Seth. He wouldn’t take a pacifier, but he was a calm baby w/out it. anyway, yeah, so sorry. hope you (and me!) get some sleep tonight.

    Yikes. 5 hours of nursing. Ouch is an understatement, poor girl.

    Oh honey, I’m so sorry. This can be your mantra: “It WILL get better. It WILL get better.” I hope you can get some sleep!

    I’m so sorry. For some reason, maybe from your other posts and the huge grinning picture of her, I had in my mind that she never cried. :)

    Yep, she definitely cries–but it’s easier this time cause at least she does nurse and calm down, rather than scream for hours like Devon would since he was bottle-fed! She’s still super sweet though:).

    Oh I am so sorry! That is the worst! Too bad they dont make a BABY sleep aid for babies with Colic.. I guess that is why all babies have mom’s GOOD LUCK!

Memorable Moments June 2015

~Ruby says "Thank You" when you give her anything. Except it's more like "Day Oooo." I love it. She's also trying harder to say please (or Peeeeze) for things she wants. What a polite little girl :).

~Yesterday Bailey came down with the Clone Trooper costume on, which is 4 sizes too big I'm pretty sure, and her bull horns on. It was awesome. And sums up this girl pretty darn well.

~Carson told us that he was the laughing stock of Primary on Sunday. He meant to say the Class Clown :).

~Devon's so funny these days. If you catch him doing something he shouldn't be, he gets an innocent little smile and then starts rolling his eyes everywhere except looking at you. :)
