I had to keep telling myself over and over again that some day, even though it felt like it would never come, he would stop feeling so awful and be happy. And he did!!Tiffanyhttp://www.elastamom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-34125736582670797892012-09-13T22:30:18.000-07:002012-09-13T22:30:18.000-07:00And yet somehow, you turn the colic experience int...And yet somehow, you turn the colic experience into something beautiful.ckhttp://badmommymoments.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-73431413445300232292012-09-13T14:28:58.000-07:002012-09-13T14:28:58.000-07:00It's so hard to get through long, indefinite p...It's so hard to get through long, indefinite periods of sleep deprivation.

My first did not teach me this, and I still feel responsible in my heart for buoying her up.

Sometimes there just isn't much you can do but hang on until you get through it. I hate that feeling, like you're just waiting for time to pass and time (or, in your case, your baby's cries) hangs over you while you sit there helpless. Sorry, I hope I didn't make things worse. I hope this time is blissfully short for you.Kayliehttp://www.familyfriendlywork.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-63160843889913580472012-09-13T05:45:29.000-07:002012-09-13T05:45:29.000-07:00You are a braver woman than me.

Neither of my kids had colic, and I believe God made it that way because he knew I'd do something rash if I had to function with them crying all day. I always have so much admiration for moms who can handle stuff like colic. Thanks for posting this. Let us know when you and Amelia get into the car and drive away.Violethttp://www.letterstogabriel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
