I called the pediatrician a few days ago because Conner has been acting super fussy from around 6-8pm every night. He cries and cries and it's so hard to make him feel better. He acts hungry but refuses to eat; he acts gassy but patting his back just doesn't help. The pediatrician told us to go ahead and come in to make sure it wasn't something serious.
Turns out he has colic. Which is good, because it's not serious and fairly common... but bad because there is nothing we can do about it. We just have to do our best to calm him down. We feel so bad for him because he's so upset! We are learning the tricks that distract him: skin to skin contact, walking up and down stairs, going outside and looking around... hopefully this will pass soon and we can have our calm baby back.

Lauren had colic real bad. One thing that worked with her is we took her legs and gently pushed them up towards the stomach...that help relieve some of the gas built up. With Caleb we warmed a hand towel up and laid it across our legs then put him on his belly across our legs and bounced him a little and he really enjoyed that. I have lots of other little tidbits that I'll give you later on...
