My son is addicted to Mylicon.... I think I have it figured out. Last night he slept from about 11:30pm to 7:15 this morning... Thank the Lord!!! Although it was a much quieter sleep last night I was of course still parinoid that he wasn't breathing so I would wake up just to be sure... and to go to the bathroom. He has a hard time settling down at night, around 9:30, about an hour before I start getting him ready for bed he gets so fussy and I can't figure out what is wrong. It took an hour of rocking, shhhing, feeding and holding to get him to fall asleep. So I give him some Mylicon and he likes that a lot, I put a drop or two on a pacifier and stick that in his mouth and that usually keeps him content for a while. So for the past couple of days I have been giving him, after each feeding while I change his diaper, a couple drops of it and he is happy as a clam. In fact, he is on the couch taking a good Saturday nap with daddy. He has been smiling much more and I even got him to laugh when I tickled him, which unto this point didn't know how to respond. He looked more confused than anything. He loves the Baby Einstein play mat that was given to him at the shower on Thursday. And the blanket that Toni crocheted for him is one of his new favorites too. We now have enough clothes for him to wear something different everyday for the whole 3-6 month period! All of the gifts were so great! And now to find the thank you cards I bought...
Tonight we are going to a friends fundraiser. She and her dad are going to Italy on a mission trip; this summer I think. Sounds tough huh? I would love to go to Italy, but I don't know, if I had to go for a mission I might be too distracted by everything that I want to see. I have wanted to go to Italy for years, or just Euope in general. I have never been. Maybe when the kids that I have yet to have are old enough we can all go as a big happy family.
