All-Nighters

Where do I begin! We took Cate to the emergency room at Children's on Sunday. At that point, she had had 3 nights of crying all night long, inconsistent stooling, and diarrhea. (Sorry for the details.) I called our pediatrician and they said to take her to the er. They did some x-rays and looked at her. They said everything looked great, no problem. They said maybe we had been feeding her too much and that constipated her and gave her a belly ache. Well who knows because she's still been crying ALL NIGHT LONG. No more diarrhea, but still not stooling like she did. It's so hard because we want to make her happy and nothing is working. She is mostly fine through the day and sleeps a lot. I gave her a suppository today. If she pulls another all-nighter then I'll call the doc tomorrow. Say some prayers for us. :) We need some sleep. If this is colic, I don't know if I'll survive. :) I don't want to sound like a big complainer... She's still the most beautiful baby ever.

Cate is beautiful! It can be so difficult with babies...what's normal?...what's not normal? And so often what's normal is just not fun. At least the ER said she was okay! Hopefully she'll slumber peacefully tonight!

I'm so sorry to hear that Cate is being, well, Cate. I hope things get easier for you. She is looking so good in those pics you posted. Almost a different child. Any hair yet?
