Making it through

Last night Baby C had the gas pains again -- I'm now convinced it's unrelated to diet. But in the middle of the night, I just let her latch onto my right boob and hang out there for hours on end, leading to worse indigestion, gas problems and pains. I just need to seriously tank her up, then let her sleep, I think. (Thanks for the hindmilk suggestion, Holly, that sounds like a winner!)

She remains a SPLENDID baby -- I just cautioned my sister not to get lulled by this baby, who is so sweet and mellow and easily soothed. She is a Trick Baby, this one for sure.

In other news, Gigi and Chebbles are both asleep in the same room for the first time in their lives. It took a huge fit of giggles, screams of laughter, some gigantic crocodile tears and a Mama Tantrum ("What is going ON in here? My GOD! The humanity!") and now there is a knocked-out silence from their room.

Gigi had crawled out of her crib this morning, terrifying me and my sister by her sudden, unexplained presence in the living room. So now she's penned up in her new crib, in the same room as Chebbles, zipped up into the crib tent and breathing with her sister, having sweet dreams together.

If this continues to be a success, Baby C will take over Gigi's room. And Gigi and Chebbles will occupy the Princess Suite until it's time for college.

What a great picture!! Just got home today, glad to hear that the gas issue seems to have waned. I would also suggest that you make sure her head is at a 45 degree angle from her tummy...helps with the milk staying in the tummy. Sending loving thoughts.

I can not believe she did that. I am soooo freaked out now and will come scurrying next time she calls out "MAAAAMAAA!" in the morning, rather than playing the who heard her first game with hubs.
