8/23/10 - Demanding a Day of Rest!

Today I decided to grant myself a day of rest! It was such a busy weekend, and I have a week of errands, chores and activities ahead of me, so today will just be a day of nothing!

Amelia has still been pretty fussy and crying a lot. We've tried everything, and it's just not helping. I couldn't take much more of the crying, it was driving me insane, and it was constantly making us worry that something is wrong with her. So, tonight, Christian and I finally gave in...gave in to the pacifier. We are not fans of pacifiers...I worry about trying to break the habit in the future, I don't like the effects they can have on children's tooth/gum development, and I despise the idea of getting up during the night to replace a lost pacifier. But, we've spent 4 weeks trying everything we can think of to make her happy, and this was our last resort. And, to mixed emotions, it did help. She seemed to calm down immensely when we gave it to her. And, she did well keeping it in, until she would fall asleep or get hungry. So, for now we'll just thank our lucky stars something is helping. And, pray that it's an easy thing to get away from her in the future!

Other than that, it was just another day. Once Christian got home, I took Olivia with me to do some much needed grocery shopping. We ate some quick dinner when we got home and it was just about bed time already. Boy, the days sure do fly by....
