Better

I am happy to report that last night went much better for us.  Shane slept last night from 7pm until about 7:30pm.  At 9:30pm Jay brought him for a car ride to help him fall asleep.  I guess he cried for about 10 minutes but then fell asleep (they were gone for a half hour).  As soon as they returned home he woke up crying.  I nursed him and he fell back asleep at about 11pm.  I snuck him back to his bed and he (Jay and I too) slept until 2:30am!!!  When I ever saw the time of the clock when he woke up I was sooooo happy!  I nursed him and he fell back asleep again at 3:45am (he fell asleep while nursing but I rocked him for a while to make sure he was good and sleeping).  He then slept until 6am.  I nursed him again and he has been sleeping since 6:40ish-it's now 7:05am.  Hopefully we are on the road to recovery.  I wish I could drink unlimited amounts of coffee!

The only thing we did different last night was we ave him 3 quarter doses (1/4 teaspoon-20 minutes apart) of Gripe Water.  About 10ish minutes after giving him the water he burped and/or pooped.  Hopefully it was helping him.  I am not a fan of medications but I do feel better that this is supposedly a natural remedy and the main ingredients are made from organic ingredients.  I think Gripe Water and gas drops are pretty much the same thing.  This water got really good review online which is why we chose it.  Hopefully today I will be able to shower ;-)
