Colic

Hello, my name is Michelle, and I have a super colicky baby. Can I take a moment to tell you how much FUN a colicky baby is? I have a baby who screams at the top of his lungs for a minimum of 4 hours a night. A baby who screams in pain and cannot be soothed no matter what we try. I have a baby who is on acid neutralizing medication and an anti-vomiting medication to help him get some relief. I have a baby who sleeps in his bassinet at a pretty steep incline in an effort to help him get some sleep. I have a baby who only wants to be held by his mommy. Not his daddy, not his Grandpa or Nana. He only wants his mommy. I have a baby who right now is miraculously sleeping in his swing, though I'm pretty certain it won't last long. I have a baby who is going for an infant ultrasound next week to make sure there's no underlying cause to his reflux/vomiting/pain/screaming. I have a baby who's mommy needs some help but unfortunately doesn't have any because any family she trusts with her precious babes lives too far away and have responsibilities of their own. I have a baby who is super super super cute, can melt my heart with his big gummy grins, who is loved beyond belief by his big brothers. I have a baby who is 7 weeks old. 49 days old. It makes me sad. My baby is growing WAY too fast. I have a baby who has decided for his mom and dad that there most certainly without a doubt will not be another baby in our family. I think I'm okay with that. I think.
