Week 8

 
 
 

For those of you keeping up with the blog and actually reading all the nonsense that I write, you will recall that we have considered Molly Claire a fussy baby. Going so far as to consider her to have colic and ordering gripe water online to ease her discomfort. Alas, last Thursday 9-4-08, I was at my wits end. My Godmother Roxanne was flying in that evening and I had not been able to get anything done, not even a shower. I could not get Molly Claire to calm down without me holding her. Poor Riley Jack was watching me come unglued by the second. I was waiting for Michael to get home from work so I could have a moments peace while driving (by myself)to the airport to pick up Roxanne.

Michael suggested we try the purple canister of formula that we had received in the mail as a sample. It was reputed to be easier on a babies tummy b/c it had partially broken down proteins....whatever. Long story short, Molly Claire is a completely different baby. It happened with the first changed bottle....a blessing. She is content, she is no longer in discomfort....she is a joy. She appears happier, she smiles and cooes, where before she was not doing any of those things. Yeah, daddy for making me change formula. You are the best!
