The last real post to this website was made nearly three weeks ago. Autumn has turned into a non-stop, 24 hour, 1,440 minute per day job. What was once a beautiful sleeping baby girl has turned into a thrashing, whining, wailing, gas filled time bomb.
We though we had her all figured out. If she cries feed her. If that doesn’t work, change her diaper. If she still cries, give her a pacifier. Done and done… back to the beautiful sleeping baby girl.
All that changed in the past week to the description above. We try every trick in the book to get her to just calm down and be happy. We just can’t figure this one out. We’re pretty sure its all gas related. Her little butt sounds like some beer swilling, burger eating, piece of the couch. No baby should sound like that! There just doesn’t seem to be any one thing or any combination of things to quiet her down. Except… the bottle!
MOST of the time, a nice bottle will quiet her down, but only while she’s eating. Not more than fifteen minutes will pass and it’s “WHHHHHAAAAAAAAA HHHAAAA HA HA!” And when she cries, she tries SO hard her face turns tomato red.
“Here we go again!”
Now don’t get us wrong, we love caring for our baby and Jas and I live a very low key, stay at home type of lifestyle, but we can’t even do dishes, or fold laundry, or EAT! Needless to say, the last few days have been a little hard on us. But we’re trying to cope with cooperation and tag teaming the babies needs.
A lot of people urged us to get our sleep before the baby was born. Sleep is not the problem. Jas gets up at night and sleeps through the morning while I take care of her. It’s the complete frustration and insanity that comes with an unsolvable puzzle that you CAN’T stop working on. If anything that can’t be stored, like sleep or screams, could be stored, it should be emotions. Let me save up some extra happiness and contentment for nine months to deal with the next child.
