Doctor Visit

As most of you know, Emily is quite a fussy baby (although many of you don't believe us because she's usually on her best behavior when we travel).  Well, this past weekend and the first couple of days of this week her crying has gotten even worse.  Monday was the worst!  Normally, she would always cry at night, but Monday she seemed to cry the majority of the day.  She's also started to fuss while we feed her and then arch her back afterwards.  This isn't something she's always done, so we decided to take her into the dr. to see what we can do for this.  They diagnosed her as having a combination of colic and acid reflux.  So now we are trying gripe water for her colic (this isn't a prescription, but the dr. said some parents swear by it) and also zantac for her acid reflux.  I'm hoping this is the cure all!  I'm also hoping this may help her sleep better.  The last few nights she's been sleeping all night in her swing.  I know this definitely isn't best case scenario, but it's where she sleeps best (although still averaging only 3 hours at a time) and to keep me sane and get some sleep myself, I've been okay with this.  And well if this doesn't work, I guess we'll just hold on to the notion that this should work itself out the older she gets.
