Well, Hallie is now 8 weeks this week. I love her sooo much, but I wish so badly that she was more of a happy baby. The only time she's happy is when she's dreaming, and Im starting to get discouraged without any sign of happiness from her. Now that she's almost 2 months, she's supposed to be alert more and sleep less throughout the day. Ya..Im seeing that..but instead of a happy alert baby when she's awake..we get nothing but screams. She has this ear peircing scream that makes it sound like she's in pain. She does it when she's put down, when she drops her pacifier, when she's wet...it just goes on all day long. Its getting so overwhelming to have this unhappy baby just screaming at me all day long. I feel so bad for her..because I dont want her to be unhappy, but I have absolutely NO idea what she wants. She even cries when she's held. I was not very good at following the no dairy rule, just because I had such a strong feeling that it wasnt the dairy that was causing her problems..but now Im rethinking that. Or she might just be a crying baby. Tyler had cholic until he was 6 months, and Ive heard the chances of a baby getting it if one of the parents had it is pretty high, so Im not sure. Her 2 month appointment is next week (like shots will help to this crying madness) so we'll talk to the doctor then and see what we can do. I would give anything to have a happy Hallie. I want to see my baby smile!
Other than that (which pretty much consumes our lives), things are going good. Tyler is really liking his new job at the apartment complex, and is so glad to be done at UPS. And we'll be enjoying the higher paychecks once they start coming in regularly. Our 1 year anniversary is this next week, and weve been racking our brains figuring out what to do and gifts to give and all of that. All we know is Hallie is going to my moms for a much needed break!
