My son is now 5 weeks old.  I must say, he is crying less than he used too.  I have tried different gas drops, gripe water, chamomile tea.  I have eliminated things from my diet that might affect him... dairy, citrus, caffiene, nuts, now eggs.  (I  have gotten some ideas and help from my new friend Maria.  Thank you!!).  I'm not really sure if anything has helped, or if he is just getting older and therefore crying less, but I really hate to find out the hard way that they were working.  I have also tried holding him in different possitions to see what works best - I got some ideas from websites about different colic holds.  None of them worked.  Luckily (after 5 weeks), I figured out that he likes to be held with his chest on my chest, his legs scrunched up, head leaning back on my hand, and me bouncing up and down.  Of course, it is a very tiring position.  As I bounce, I keep telling myself, I need to lose weight, I need to lose weight.  He just wants to help, right?  Yesterday, we all jammed into the car to go visit my grandma.  While we were there, I realized that baby B was sleeping peacefully in his carseat.  I thought, why don't I put him in there to sleep during the day?  (He won't sleep during the day unless he is being held)  So, that's were he is right now, sleeping peacefully.  AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH..... How nice!  You would think that after having 3 kids, you've earned the right to know exactly what was going on with your baby.  But nnnnnnooooooooo.  Each and every one has to have it's own personality.   

I blogged earlier about the crazy house I was living in.  Wed, we went back down to 8 people in the house.  Today we are down to 6.  The house was soooo quiet!!  My husband took my oldest son, D, to Royal Rangers winter camp.  They will be gone until Sunday.  They were so excited to go.  They have all sorts of outside, winter activities.  They feed them meals and snacks.  Best of all, they get to stay up till MIDNIGHT!  WOW!  D was so excited!  It's going to be strange with them gone, but I think I will enjoy the smaller, and more importantly, quieter, household.
