I've been looking at some yummy pictures to help me feel better. I thought I'd share...
Oktoberfest
Dave's Grandparents
chillin at home.
We're working on a schedule so that he has consistent nap times and bed time. Its hard on us both. But it think its working, I'll keep you posted. My cup feels empty, its been a good, long day. I'm glad its over.

His personality is showing! I can see it in his face! I love babies most when their personalities come to life! :) What an adorable kid you have! He makes the long days worth it, i am sure! :)
It's 1 am and I am up with Tiger for a feeding before we both are back to bed and I am thinking of you. I briefly saw on facebook something that said Sol wouldn't stop crying... I am so sorry. Obviously, since it is 1 am and I am up I don't have a lot of the answers with kids, but I did want to share a couple tricks we heard from people that SOMETIMES helped our crying babies. It's worth a shot right? Or maybe I am casting pennies at you...
In nursing I don't "stay away" from a list of foods. But, I don't drink Orange Juice for like the first six months, then I slowly add it into my diet. Dr. Wolsey briefly suggested this to me when Juliette was still a newborn in the hospital. And it so far has for me proven right. When I drink citrus (which I love) my babies get really upset tummies. ?? who knows but worth a shot.
The other thing is our neighbors had a helpful "exercise" that got rid of "bubbles" (gas in their babies tummy). You have probably heard this before. But you push your babies little legs into their tummy with a little force but obviously not rough and basically help the bubbles out. It is almost like your helping Sol curl his legs up so he is in a ball.
Anyway, we'll be praying for you. And I already said a prayer tonight for you. :) There is nothing like a crying baby to make for a hard day where you feel almost helpless.
You are amazing Megan!
(I just realized I never sent you an invite to our blog. I am sorry. Basically, I have sent an invite to those who've asked if we have one. Let's just say my blog is a work in progress. :) Not nearly as fun as yours. But, I love to see updates of your cute family on your blog and I should at least give you access to ours. So, expect an email invite. And sorry if I seemed rude for not sending an invite, not intentional. )
You're a great mom, Megan. Sol is lucky to have you.
It does get better, believe me! These long days of crying are hard, but I wouldn't have traded them for anything now! Hang in there, you're doing great!
I'm right there with you. This week has been hard. Really hard. I keep hoping that one day I'll look back on it and say that it was worth it.
Hang in there! You're doing great!
Oh man, I know its hard some days. I have been there, Zach had Colic and Asher doesnt cry but, he wont sleep more than 2 hrs and then wakes up...all night long. ITs CRAZY! There are days when I feel so overwhelmed. As you have heard, this too shall pass. But, it doesnt make it easier. I dont have any real advise (not that you are asking for it). One day I was freaking out over my crazy kids, when I got all by myself I heard something say " Take care of them, and I will take care of you". It totally answered my prayers.
You remember that too. Youre a great mommy!!!
I finally made myself a sign that is quote from Elder Packer "Christ is the creator, the healer. What he made, he can fix."- I know you guys are great parents. Hold onto eachother, and pray for sanity when you need it. You are not alone! love you guys!
It's moments like these that make you a better mom. Enjoy the time you have even if it's spent snuggling a screaming boy. It's all worth it!
It's amazing how well you summed it up- "my cup is empty". Not necessarily sad, just... no more to give. I've definitely had some new mommy days like that recently. He really is a cute, sweet little man, and I know you and Dave are great parents.
