Does it ever get any better??

I am diagnosing my child with COLIC. (I don't even know if it something to diagnose, but I am) If she isn't eating or sleeping she is screaming at the top of her lungs. I can't stick a bottle in her mouth every time she cries this way, but it seems like I end up trying to feed her because I don't know what else to do for her. At this point I am very stressed and in tears. I thought maybe she just had a few rough days, but no this happens every single day. I know I have my mom and step dad helping me out but it isn't the same, I wish Phil was here with me. I miss him terribly.

I was originally going to blog today with these pictures I took of Payton in her swimsuit, but as the day has gotten more stressful I thought I would blog about her crying. But I will go ahead and share these pictures, this was a moment (literally a moment) that I got lucky and she was not screaming.

Oh sweetheart....I feel your pain. I PROMISE, PROMISE, PROMISE it WILL get better. Three months is the magic age that colic gets better. It won't be forever!

I understand the stress. The best thing you can do when you can't take it anymore is just lay her down in her crib crying and walk out of the room and take a moment for yourself. Most times, when you pick her back up, your new calm will settle her.

As hard as it is to believe now, this will all be a blur to you one day. Just like my blog said the other day...it is a phase and it will pass. I PROMISE!!!!

Yes...it won't be like this forever and it will get better! Just a thought....have you tried the vacuum yet??

AND...Payton looks really cute in her bathing suit!

It will get better, Kristin. I know that is hard to believe - especially in the moment! I feel like I am always trying to make Garner stop crying by feeding him also, so you are not alone! Today he was screaming and I just had to try everything I could: milk, diaper change, mylicon, orajel, rocking, walking, laying him down, back to milk - nothing worked! It will be over soon - and then they will be doing other things that drive us crazy! :) Anyway, I feel your pain. Hang in there!

It does get better. Although I've never experienced as a Mom I have as a Nawny, and it does get better! Bless ya'lls heart, know how tough it is. Love you sweet girl!
