I didn't notice it easing up when it actually happened. What happened was that I looked back and I noticed that it had gotten better so gradually that I hadn't noticed it happening until life was better, and then things were good. This will happen for you too.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-67013267971795197902009-12-17T07:36:22.660-08:002009-12-17T07:36:22.660-08:00Grace had colic.

Based on the timing of this I imagine Manly was born around the same time as G - so it's dark and the days are not going to lengthen any time soon and ... wow.<br />But good for you for being able to hear that song of his in your heart. It will be over, I promise, but I also know how incredibly had that is to know right this minute.<br />I'm thinking about you.<br />xoLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909653448867538655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-88659909942484196812009-12-17T06:35:24.697-08:002009-12-17T06:35:24.697-08:00Poor Manly!

Miss D. had colic and GOD, it was a miserable time.<br /><br />You'll hear a million suggestions...put them on a running clothes dryer, run the vaccuum, wear them in a Baby Bjorn, etc. I've heard good things about gripe water, like Yvonne suggested.<br /><br />Alas, nothing worked for Miss D. except for time. I'm hoping things are easier for you.TKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409505008377005185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-28773666855801914732009-12-17T03:45:29.985-08:002009-12-17T03:45:29.985-08:00Colic can be miserable--for everyone.
