Well, my daughter, Alexandria Nicole, is well in to her 7th week of life, and we're getting to know each other quite nicely. She definitely knows who her mom is and, for the most part, I know what her cries are telling me.
Prior to us getting to know each other it was a whirlwind of emotions and not really knowing what to do. It was tough at times, especially when she cried, didn't sleep for any length of time and then there was the feeding obstacle. Thank goodness for her doctor who guided me through it all.
For her crying and short sleeps, Alex's doctor recommended I read The Happiest Baby on The Block by Harvey Karp; that book is gold! Her doctor also eased my mind about her breastfeeding habits; she gets all she needs in the first five minutes of feeding... who knew!

It's funny isn't it... how much these little creatures make us feel every emotion all at once. It's amazing that people have more than one child!! The storm will pass (trust me) and what comes out in the end are blue skies, beautiful rainbow and of course the sunshine of our life!
Hey Kris-
have you tried Alex in a baby sling? Sydney loved being close to me and feel asleep in there all the time, they are great for fussy babies- give me a call if you want to chat about mommyhood the good the bad and the ugly!
