Well I am finally getting in the groove of some things now that we have 2 kids. One thing that has really shocked me though is that I really feel for anyone who has ever had a colicky baby. I have to admit that I didn't fully understand the just of it, but I do now. I so do love my lil guy, but it really does make you feel like you are less than for a moment when your lil one is upset and there is nothing you can really do to settle them down. What works for us is giving him lots of activity during the fussy periods, walking to diff rooms and he also likes to be held close and tight during these times. I know that this will pass and there are so many other moments in the day to cherish. Like how he loves to watch his big sis acting goofy or the lil coos he makes now. I just let myself have a lil cry or a few deep breaths when it feels like too much. I have a wonderful husband that gives me a bit of time to myself everyday also and that helps alot too. My daughter just loves her little brother but she does not fully understand that he is not able to do all the things she wants to do with him. Our daughter is testing us a bit with the selective hearing but she is a big help to me, she is my lil helper during the day when daddy is working. We try to give her lil 1 on 1 time with us too and each day gets easier. Here is a pic of Amalia 2 days before we had Nathanael and then a pic of our lil man at about 3 weeks.
