My last post was on June 3rd? Interesting, that was right around when Shawn's Mom left. Having 3 on two coverage helps tons. That way I can go hide in the garage or oil door hinges in the basement, critical stuff that must be taken care of. Rumor has it that Barb and Tom may be returning next week sometime. We honestly miss them, the extra hands are more than welcome and most of all "Misery loves company."
(Wallingford) June 16th, Just when you thought things couldn't get worse
One of the last things you feel like doing when you have some downtime is to update your blog, your mind is instanly on other things, generally sleep or completing work you were unable to do because your mind is impaired from interrupted sleep patterns for 5+ weeks. We keep thinking that "Today is the worse day yet" then the following day is worse.
I have some advice to give parents out there that think their infant may have colic. If you are wondering if your child has colic - it doesn't. Here is the best site I have read on the colic topic. Naturally it was given to me from the Healy's who have earned the colic combat badge.
The camera is out and I intend to snap some shots today, I keep getting messages urging me to update the flickr site with fresh photos of Elaine. I will try. Perhaps I can even get some great colic footage, maybe a time lapse of a big colic wave that lasts 9-12 hours.

I've heard a bunch of parents and doulas lately talk about the "Happiest Baby on the Block" (dvd, book) techniques for colicky babies. One doula told me that it has worked for all of her babies/clients except one in 13 years. We just got our copy from Amazon.

Sending lots of sleeping baby vibes your way!
