After 3 days of non-stop fussing and whining (Hope was kinda fussy, too), Hope seems to be doing a little better today. I hate not knowing what's wrong. I still haven't figured out if she's teething, has a tummy ache, or is just really tired. I'm guessing tummy ache since we've had extra diapers to change, but I've been wrong a few times in my life. We have been trying to let her cry more at night instead of putting her pacifier in right away. Several people I talked to kept telling me we need to just let her cry and eventually she'll fall back asleep. It's not working so well for us. We have tried it 5 nights and she still screamed for over an hour this morning. I bet our neighbors love us!
I think we can consider her being able to sit up on her own and able to roll over now, so that's exciting. Two new skills in a week! Her lack of consonants bothers me, but I know not to panic. I guess I figure that since I'm a speech therapist, she should be doing okay in that area. I know how to stimulate language and sounds and stuff. It's just not working so well. Ugh! I'm sure she'll eventually get it, and if she doesn't, I know plenty of good speech therapists!

LOL! Brooke ur so cute! Hope will come into her own when she's good and ready. Spoken like a true mother of... oh, that's right. I don't have kids. I don't know how you do it. The crying, fussing, whining... that would dive me up the walls. This is probably why i don't have kids. ;o)
Have a great weekend! Looks like we're the only ones on here today! I hope it picks up more next week.
I am sure she will be fine!! I hope she gets better or you don't lose your mind. If you need to chat just give me a call.
I'm with the other two! I hope she is back to her old self soon. If you're ever looking for a good book to read I highly recommend "Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child." It's done wonders for my kids! I'm always amazed at how right on it is and how much it's helped. Either way, I hope she is feeling better soon and that you survive intact! Keep us posted!
