Well, I just have the most beautiful little granddaughter in the history of the world!
I've been gone for a while because I went to visit my younger son and his lovely wife and to meet our delightful granddaughter!
Annachiara - now there is a lovely name.
Bless her little sweet self, she is colicky. I know I was SUPER lucky in my babies. My older son, Dante, had colic for one day - the whole livelong day I held him, patted his little back to burp him and comfort him. He was breast fed and I don't remember what it was I had eaten that bothered him (well, it was 32 years ago!), but I did not eat it again! Troy, my new daddy son, never had it.
And now, this little, beautiful girl has colic something fierce! She is inconsolable and exhausts herself with her crying.
Sometimes babies just get colic and there is not necessarily a reason for it that can be determined. It does pass and I hope that will come soon for the sake of all three of them!
They live in Princeton, NJ. It was a two day drive to get there and was very much worth the drive to see the beautiful autumn leaves and to meet our new little princess!
They are under the threat of Hurricane Sandy right now and my prayers are for their safety.
Okay, I obviously started this post and didn't publish it BEFORE Sandy struck.
As of now I have heard from my son only via text. He is in the New Jersey National Guard and is doing National Guard "stuff" to assist those in need as of Monday past.
I am hoping all is well up there and the beauteous Elisa, Annachiara and my sweet son are all safe and well!
