The Hallelujah.

     So, my last post was about Evy's colic, which was genuinely awful. Then I remembered a book some random stranger told me about at a restaurant. Sleep deprived and desperate, Catie & I walked down to Border's to pick up the book...money was no option. I know people say that, but I would've dropped a hundred bucks if that book would help her sleep; and by proxy, help me sleep a little too. We picked up a book called The Happiest Baby on the Block and it's an absolute life saver. Seriously, this book has probably saved a few babies lives. Before, we'd lay her down, she'd freak out, scream, cry, and generally be inconsolable. We read this book with the intensity and ferociousness of someone with barely any hope. After a few hours, we read the important parts that applied to us (having a baby that wouldn't stop crying) and tried out the suggestions in the book. If you do them correctly and in the right order, it totally works. I'm gonna highly suggest this book to anyone with babies. Not just colicky babies, but any baby that has ever cried. Go. Buy the book. Thank me later.
     P.S. Apparently, I was supposed to be posting this thing like a week ago. I said I'd post it in a day, but after having a baby, one day = a week. We've had the same todo list for the last month.
