Catherine Update
Well my baby girl or bird girl as I call her( she makes little bird noises). Is getting better. Awhile back I had cut out the dairy from my diet to help her screaming. Well it did help some. I still am diary free. I really do not miss it to much(ok the Ice cream I do).
For the sake of bird girl I keep going. Its also good for my figure.
As she has gotten older. (5weeks as of the 4th) I have come to figure out what her problem per say is. Its the lack of sleep, or quality sleep. Since she has been born she has never been a good sleeper, ok she really never had slept much at all. Which I thought odd as my first son slept all the time as a newborn. Well after really watching her patterns and such, she would never go to sleep during the day, maybe nap 1-2 hours total. Then during the night maybe a couple hours. Not the recommended 15 hours or so. She would be so over stimulated that she could not get her to sleep, and neither could we. She is not much of a deep sleeper so she would wake herself up(ugh). Well the other day we went out and bought her a sound machine, and set it for white noise. That night she slept great, six hours then woke up and ate, then another 3 hours then ate. Awesome. Then has slept great through out the day, as well. She naps alot in her swing or bouncy seat. I have now started sorta a routine with her. She wakes up, she eats, is awake for maybe half hour, then nap time, and we keep going like this. She is doing great. Last night not so great. Let me back up here, the last two nights she has gotten up every three hours to eat, ok I can deal with this. It does take us about an hour to get her to sleep by rocking her at bedtime. Last night however, it took me a long time to get her to sleep, then the pacifer would fall out, she was awake, ack. This happened 4-5 times. By this time I was tired. Fed her again put her sleep, she woke up at her usual(what there is nothing usual about her) time, but was wide awake and bushy tail at 2 oclock. So rock her, in the chair, did the mama sway, she fell asleep, put her down, awake she was. Dad put the pacifer in two more times, something must of sunk because she finally slept. So on to today, the boys are fishing and she has slept some, not much though, I think she misses her brother talking her ear off when she sleeps. Oh the joys of being a mom. I love them though.
