Week 3 with Andrew George

Week 3

Andrew's reflux/fussiness continued, he took to the formula, and we tried different things to calm him down from one of his "meltdowns" - to put it nicely..

Im tellin ya.. this kid cried ALL THE TIME, and not just a fuss, a shreiking, pinching, painful tear filled cry. The bath took it away (temporarily)...
First warm bath in the sink. He was quiet for about 3 whole minutes.

It was a rough week.. Me sleeping on the couch with him, holding him, crying with him.. Mathew would come down and releive me and try to calm him.. we'd get him down, and he'd be up again sometimes in 10 minutes, sometimes in 1 hour.. he wasnt sleeping at ALL...

Neither were we... I probably got a good 2 hours every night last week.. I was feeling like I was loosing my mind.. I couldnt function, and I also couldnt take care of Samantha.. which was making it even more emotionally draining.. ALL I was doing was holding him, calming him down all the time.. round the clock

Mid-week I got this adorable package of goodies from my dear friend Leslie in TX

It was a very nice surprise and pick-me-up... I just love all these squishy baby clothes!

Love you Leslie!

This was the ONLY way he'd calm and take a nap, and give me a break...except he was ON me, so I was a prisoner on the couch till he woke up...
But only for a maximum of 30 minutes, before he'd wake up screaming like this..

I felt bad taking a pic, but I will (hopefully) look back and rememeber all we'd gone through with our poor little baby.. who was in soo much pain, and I didnt know and still dont know how to fix him.
So that was our week.. I pretty much stayed in my pajamas, lived on the couch, slept a few hours a night, and slowly am loosing my mind.. just kidding..(or am I?)
