My Sweet Boys

After my last post, I got to sleep from 12:30am to about 5am and that made me feel much better and energized me to be able to handle Aisling and her gas issues. For another day at least. I am going to call the Dr. today and make sure that it is just colic or gas. When we pump her legs, she does stop crying and she lets out a ton of gas. She is getting better at burping but I can't tell if that helps or not. She has yet to spit up but she does gag quite a bit when I'm not feeding her.  Also, she seems to be limiting her screaming times to between the hours of about 6pm-11pm. So, we'll see.

The big boys each made me cards at school and they really made my heart melt. They each had questions to fill out inside their cards. I hope they make you laugh and smile like they did me.

Ben's:

My Mom is special because- she cares for me.

I like it when my Mom- tells me good things.

My mom can do many things! I think she's best at- laundry.

My Mom has a pretty smile! I like to make her smile by- making a present.

My mom is as pretty as a -flower.

My Mom is smart! She even knows- 50 + 50.

Luke's:

My mommy is in - in her late 90's.

My mom weighs- 9 lbs.

My mom loves to wear- a dress with flowers on it

and when she wants to have fun she- plays with me!

My mom loves to cook- noodles and veggies.

When my mommy cleans the house, her favorite thing to do is- mop the kitchen floor.

When my mommy goes shopping she loves to buy- things we do not have.

My mommy's favorite song is- a Bible song.

My mommy's favorite movie is- Fantastic 4.

My mommy's favorite tv show is- Rachel Ray.

If my mommy could go on a trip anywhere in the world she would go- to Africa.

I really love it when my mommy- hugs me.

Such sweet boys! Hope your Mother's Day was amazing!

You needed those pick-me-ups from your sweet boys. Aren't they the best!

Mark was a crier from 7-10pm. I remember many nights reading Matt his bedtime story while Mark screamed and screamed. I had to put Mark in another room because nothing worked and I wanted to give Matt his time. And since Steve was at work many evenings, I was handling things on my own. I totally understand!!! I know you'll hear this over and over again, but it DOES pass. Were your boys like this?

Oh, I pray that this passes quickly and you find out what will work. Your boys answers are so sweet and very smart. Love the 90 year old and 9 lbs. Hope your Mother's Day was a great one...

You are very, very light and very, very old. But good for you for still mopping those floors!

If it's any consolation, 2 of my kids did the same thing - cried for an extended amount of time...I can remember it starting at 6 and my husband would get home from work, and I'd practically hand my daughter over to him, because I was done! :) Then with my youngest - he cried from about 9pm - 1am EVERY.NIGHT. We had to take shifts. Thankfully, I don't really remember much of it, or being sleep deprived.

I'm sure you'll get through, but it's when you're in it that SUCKS!!! I'll be praying for you and little Aisling!

P.S. My kids request to watch your sons Charlie and Lola video - all the time! ;)

Just so you know, about the reflux thing...I'm not saying she has it, but I don't want you to rule it too quickly. My middle child had "silent reflux" and NEVER spit up. Seriously. Silent reflux is worse because the acid burns as it goes up, and then comes right back down again to burn some more. His reflux was severe and I had no idea he had it until another (unrelated) health issue popped up and we had to have some tests done on him and that was something they found.

Have you tried gas drops? We used those quite a bit...the medicine doesn't get absorbed in to their system so you can use it every couple of hours. Anyway, if nothing else, if it really is colic then "this too shall pass". It's so hard hard hard, but it'll be over and a memory before you know it.;)

Your boys are so sweet. It's so nice when they have lots of nice things to say about us moms. Especially when we're feeling kinda crummy.
