Our friends recommended Gripe Water and it was a life saver! (I am knocking the shit out of wood as I type this...) But just an FYI - our pediatrician was not excited about us using it... but after a few weeks of living with the baby who screamed bloody murder every hour I started to worry that my daughter first words will be "you gotta be shitting me!"

Are you sure it isnt gas or anything of that nature? Has her rock hard stomach situation resolved? Cassidee has been having problems too and the dr thinks she might have acid reflux. Nice. They will grow out of it. But I do feel Kelli's pain. Been there done that one. But she's lucky she has a great husband like you to help out in the night. That always makes things easier. And even though she's crying in the picture, she still looks adorable as ever. Miss u all! Well, well well dear brother. :) Looks like the tables have turned a bit huh? hehe.

As long as you're checking the checklist and all is well, you're fine. Babies cry because it's literally all they can do for awhile. At two months they can't walk, talk or really grasp things with their hands. So what can they do? They can cry. Even when they're happy sometimes they'll scream. and with the sleep schedule, it's just nuts. As soon as you think you have a routine, they change on you and stop sleeping. Sometimes there's a baby who's perfect and sleeps through the night from Day 1. Personally, I think that's a myth. Like Bigfoot or wives who crave sex three times a day. Just hang in there and keep trying to find a routine that works. It's all you can do. No need to sweat it. As long as you’re checking the checklist and all is well, you’re fine.

My 3 year old is going through a phase where she won't go to sleep alone. I'm trying to break her of this habit, but the wife doesn't want to hear her cry when I put her back in her bed, so she is getting into the habit of sleeping with us. Not frustrating at all. :) As long as you check the diaper, food, etc, and have tried baby Orajel on her teeth nubs, sometimes they just cry to cry or just want to cuddle.
