Like mother like daughter

For the first few weeks Dahlia was more interested in sleeping than anything else, but now it seems as though she has left that stage. For the last week, she has been a little more temperamental. My mother says shes a lot like I was. And I was pretty demanding at her age, more than my other siblings at least (= Let's just say, she likes to cry. It's not like she cries for 24 hours, it's more like 12. She usually stops around 1:30 in the morning. She starts back up around noon the next day. This happens only after I feed her, and continues until almost the next feeding. We thought maybe she was having lots of gas, or maybe it was something I was eating, or maybe she was still hungry. Well we called the doctor on friday and she said it sounded like acid reflux (heart burn). We were a little relieved to hear there was a possible solution. So we picked up the medicine she prescribed. We thought maybe it would take a little time to kick in, but it shouldn't take a couple days. So now we're left to wait it out. What can we say, she's a crier.  The hardest thing is watching her scream and not being able to fix it. She makes the saddest little whimpers, that make me want to cry. And sometimes I do, because I'm so exhausted that my emotions are just a little bit strained.

Would you like some relief on Friday? I would love to come over and do anything, clean bathrooms, vacuum, watch Dahlia for a little while so you can run some errands (don't worry, I'm a professional). Let me know!
