Who knew babies are so loud? She snuffles, grunts, coughs, sneezes, burps, and farts... and that's before the crying!


4 weeks in and life HAS improved. If we could get her down to 2 feed-and-burps a night, we'd be golden... for the past 2 nights, the routine has been she gets very gassy at 3-ish am, vomits milk all over me a few times, and cries for 15 mins or so before going back to sleep. (BUT SHE'S NOT COLICKY. Here's why: colic is inconsolable, high-pitched wailing that lasts for more than 3 hours, on 3 or more days a week, for at least 3 weeks.)


Annaliese is just fussy. And gassy. But so far, thank Heaven, never inconsolable.


She's going with me on 2 interviews this week. Wish the sling magic powers...

honey, I dont think you can be surprised that Ms Annaliese is very definite in making her preferences known---she comes from a long line of
women who are major forces of nature, on ALL sides of the family!!!Fasten your seat belts, you two---it's going to be a wild ride.

I think you have a real live wire there----
