I think this is the first week since Brooklyn has been born that we haven't gone to the doctor's office! Hopefully that means things are getting better. We switched her to soy last weekend and haven't noticed a change yet. She has been very fussy this week. Wednesday was probably her fussiest day yet. I bet she screamed for 12 of the 24 hours. It was very trying. Eric and I had Youth Group that night so my sister and brother-in-law watched her. Let's just say after 2 hours of her screaming they were very ready for us to pick her up. I think they realize now how lucky they are with their 2 children who seriously never cry and have been sleeping straight through the night since 6 weeks. Too bad we weren't that lucky...:) So far we cannot tell that the soy has been helping but the doctor said it would take 2 weeks before we saw any improvements...so we are still hopeful! We are finding things that help calm her down--driving in a car and putting her in her swing and letting the vacuum run. We just pray that the soy formula will do the trick or that she will outgrow this quickly!

Yesterday I picked up Emma and Addison from daycare and they got to spend some time with Brooklyn. They actually sat still long enough for me to snap a picture. I was so preoccupied with getting Addison to look at the camera and smile that I neglected the fact Brooklyn was falling over. Oh well...I think it would be impossible to get a "perfect" picture with these 3!!!!

  1. Hi Amy,
    SOOOOOOOOO....excited that you have a blog. It truly makes family not seem so far away! Sorry about Brooklyn and her tummy issues. I hope the soy works. I thought it would be tough to have twins, but a I am sure a crying single baby can be just has hard. We will pray she grows out of this quickly. Take care. Alissa
