baby is asleep. she had a bit of a tummy ache.
if it's one thing i've learned from being a mother is patience.
i carry her upright even though it's doing a number on my back.. i hold her and begin to burp her until i hear the gas leave through the attic.
feeding her is time consuming.
it takes her about 45 minutes to drink 3 ounces of milk. when she was first born it took her 1 hour to drink 1 ounce.
she's so beautiful.
i sat on the edge of my bed.. even though my back was killing me.. she laid on my thighs and i rubbed her back.. rubbed her back for almost an hour while i heard the gas leave her basement.
the other day after changing her she began to cry hysterically. for no reason. i panicked.. picked her up and tried to sooth her. she wouldn't stop--- 30 seconds into her crying i joined her.. there we both were crying our eyes out. the pain i felt from hearing her cry brings me to tears now. it was horrible.. i called everyone-- jeffrey, my parents... i almost called 911. i'm not used to her crying. she never cries. even when she's sad or upset she will say "aguuuuu." instead of her usual "agu"
sigh...
