oh carrie, i'm so so so sorry. kendra was colicky too and her being my first i didn't know any different. i remember having jared give her lots of baths no matter how many in 1 day. i also remember going places just to go places cause it seemed to make her a little better. but i didn't have 3 others in tow. gosh that is tough. i wish you were here so i could take the other 3 for a bit. why must your strength be tested? weeks will turn to months and it will all fade. love ya babe.

I Carrie, I've always feared having a colicky baby. It's got to be so hard. I am so, so, so sorry. You just keep blogging. It's cheap therapy, and those of us that are nosey love to read all about it. Keep bouncing. It's only gonna get better. I'm pretty sure they out grow it, right!

I absolutely love reading your blog entries. You are so real. As a nanny I have experience "colicky" babies and boy it was a challenge! The thing that brought some peace of mind is that each phases is just a phase. This time will pass hopefully sooner rather than later. THe last girl I nannied had acid reflux and was fussy until she went on some medication that helped reduce the acid. Have you talked with your doctor? Just a thought. I am also a big fan of Hylands colic tablets. I really hope this time passes quickly! It can really be exhausting. I am sending good energy your way. Good luck!

It's hard to admit isn't it... we've had a bit of the colic over here too. It is amazing what can be done one handed isn't it? I've found brownies and a trip or two a week to Golden Spoon seem to help. Do you want to go one night next week? That picture of Lily just cracked me up. I've had a few colicky babies and it gets so much better around 4-5 months... doesn't sound great now, but you're getting closer and so am I.

Oh Deary, I am sorry too. Emma was colicky and I vowed never to have another child but I managed through it and now I have 3. Each baby I have I am amazed that they don't cry like Emma did.

I must be going through Carrie Withdrawls because I feel like running down to Vegas to visit.

I see you put up a new background. Cute! Are you still liking your header? Don't feel obligated to keep it. It matches pretty good. It's possible to get rid of the black lines around it if you want.

Hi Carrie,

I'm sorry things are rough right now. I've never had a colicky baby but two of my sister-in-laws, & their Doctors, thought they did. For one of them it turned out he was just allergic to her breast milk. For the other one it was the formula she was using, it took her a while but she finally found one that worked.

Maybe you will find yours will be simple to fix as well but either way, *HUGS*!

Oh, Care! I love this post. I love it! What a mom, it just makes me feel like what the heck am I complaining about. Ky was a rough babe. I found great joy in the 5 S's. I know you said no advice but the 5 S's is a miracle worker, and then also some acid reflux med for about 6 months really helped out. Oh, keep us up dated. Do you have air conditioning? If so at least that's on your side right? One more thing on your side is how busy you are, the newbie stage goes by so fast when you have other kids keepin' it real. ;)

I'm so impressed with you! I think I would use it as an excuse to stop cleaning and cooking. "Sorry I don't have two hands, guess I will just sit here and eat cupcakes.";) I hope you get some relief soon!

I'm so sad it took me so many days to check your blog!!! You know a baby break is just a phone call away. I love holding babies, even cute colicky ones!!!
