Birthday Week

Wednesday was my 29th Birthday. It was good for a number of reasons...

1. Lots of cards and warm wishes from my friends and family
2. A delicious birthday cake from Kendall
3. Lunch with Randi
   
4. A gift card to Urban Outfitters from my hubby - I plan to go on Saturday sans kiddos and spend it on some much needed new clothes
5. I didn't pack a single box
   

And after many sleepless nights and frustrating days filled with Emery screaming and not sleeping, we finally went to see the pediatrician. She weighs over 10 pounds, so hunger is definitely not the problem. He recommended trying a no-dairy diet for a week to see if that makes any difference. So, no milk, cheese, ice cream, etc. Many of my favorite foods contain dairy, so this is going to be a challenge for me, but if it works, it will be worth it. Fingers crossed that we see some results in a few days.

There is one thing we've found that soothes our baby girl. The hair dryer. One night this week we put her in the bathroom and turned the dryer on and left it in the sink blowing cold air. She fell asleep, so we left it on for over two hours, fearful that if we turned it off she would wake up. Hey, WHATEVER WORKS, RIGHT??
