What day is it?
Today we went in for Britton's two week check up, and he's up to 9 lbs 1 oz. Considering that babies generally lose weight in the hospital, that's a pretty impressive weight gain. He is still jaundiced, but his bilirubin is slowly going down so we don't have to worry about putting him under lights or anything. Although I like to have him sleep in front of our windows for good measure. ☺
The not so good news, for me, is that the doctor thinks he has colic. (or it's coming on anyway) He's not been sleeping so well at night and he's really fussy around 1:00-4:00 AM plus eating every hour and a half to two hours. This makes for some very tired parents and I've been in a hazy fog the past couple of days.
Cary goes back to work on Wednesday and I'm really not looking forward to that.
This too shall pass...
I know most of my family will think this post is useless without photos, but I haven't pulled out my camera in days. :(

Ugh. Poor baby, and poor parents! Hopefully, for everyone's sakes, his colic phase will be of short duration. ☺ I can't mock because not only have I not taken my camera out for days and days, I haven't done a thing with the pictures I have taken. ☺
Awww, Annette! I feel for you. I am so sorry that you aren't getting sleep. Colic is very unfun! I wouldn't worry about the camera. You have a lot going on.
I had planned to send a message and find out how you are doing. Sounds like you have your hands full.
Kendra and I are planning on coming out to EskDale April 18th. We will come out Monday and leave on Wednesday. I am hoping that you all will be out there and that Kendra and Ella might find a little time to play with each other. Kendra doesn't really know how to play with other kids but she sure wants to.
I sure hope that you will get some sleep soon. I can't imagine what a bear I would become over time with out sleep. Sending you thoughts of rest.

Bummer. So can we bring over dinner? Let me know what day would work best for you.
I feel for you Annette. Hope the colic doesn't last long. Hope you can catch up on some rest!
