This week...

This week was a pretty stressful week in our household. Baby L was just not acting like herself. Crying incessantly like she was in pain and nothing would comfort her. She has never been a big crier, ever. She fusses if she's hungry or needs a changing but crying almost never happens. She also has been a pretty good sleeper the past few weeks. That all changed the past week. She would be up every 2 hours and fight her sleep for a good hour before finally giving in. As a mommy, the biggest thing I have learned is TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If you feel like something is not right with your baby do not hesitate to figure out what. Always follow your gut. So I did that, all the way to the doctor. Poor thing had an ear infection! We got her some antibiotics and within 48 hours she was back to her normal self. She slept for 11 hours that night and was such a happy baby again. Thank goodness because this momma was about to pull out her on hair from lack of sleep and all the crying. Seriously my heart feels for those parents that have babies with colic. I don't know how you do it, but props to you.
