Grace 3 weeks and Counting

Grace still has her crying/ fussiness spells about daily now. She was started last friday on a medicine for acid reflux. The doctor wanted to try this to see if acid reflux was the cause of her fussiness and crying. We started the medicine Friday afternoon and after 7:30 pm she had a good night and most of the day on Saturday was very good. We were beginning to think the medicine was helping and maybe this was the cause of her fussiness. But THEN it started again on Saturday night. Also, the change in my diet last week did not help either. It is obvious that she does have colic. Now we just pray it will go away quickly. We have been on many car rides with her to help calm her and do all the tricks people say may help with colic. Sometimes some work BRIEFLY. The car ride was working best for her but a lot of the time when we get home she is right back to were she was crying. It is really rough seeing her when she has her bouts of crying. Adam and I have just learned that this is something we are going to have to deal with. Continue to pray!!

I do have a PRAISE. Last weekend our air conditioning went out and praise the Lord we still have our 1 year home warranty through the middle of May that was purchased by the seller last year when we bought the house. We are getting a new air conditioning unit for little money out of pocket. The warranty covers the huge chunk of the costs!! If it would have went out just a little later in the season we would be out thousands of dollars. PRAISE THE LORD. What timing!

Grace and I went to church last night for the first time. I have been scared about taking her due to her crying and at first due to risk for her to get an infection from being around a crowd of people. Also, like yesterday morning before church we were just exhausted from the night before being up with her. Anyways, Adam had to work so it was just us two. Grace did really well. She slept the whole time until the very end of the service she started making a few noises like she was about to cry so I got up and went out with her. It was pretty much over though and I heard the rest of the sermon outside the door. It was nice though to go and here from God's word and to have the encouragement of other believers around me.

I am posting a picture in her casual summer dress she wore to church Sunday night. As you can see she has had some baby acne and we have been using cetaphil cleanser on it and it is helping. The other picture in the short outfit was from today. As you can see, a lot of her 0-3 month old clothes still swallow her and even some newborn things. Off to try and get some rest!!
