Jenna is having trouble sleeping soundly, especially between midnight and 7am.
She is experiencing a lot of gas, painful gas that makes her cry red-faced, with high pressure release, and many burps, hiccups, and coughs.
We are regularly giving her over the counter anti-gas meds, Simethicone, and it helps, but only helps a bit.
We also are now trying a suggested remedy, "Gripe Water", and that also seems to help, but only helps a bit.
My sleep is getting regularly completely trashed, maybe 3hrs of real sleep on nights she cannot sleep, or 4hrs at best.
It makes me feel irritable, tired, and quick to anger.
I really _hate_ this phase of a baby's growing up, and only hope to survive until the phase passes.
San Gabriel getting a good Spring rain today, medium to heavy rain, and the occasional thunderclap.
jenna,
gripe water,
