Colic? Or something with a solution? 2008-08-08 - 9:19 a.m. Before I forget, there have been a couple of great happenings in my blogosphere: Congratulations to Julie from a little pregnant and her husband Paul on the arrival of her beautiful son Ben. It was an epic journey for Julie to have her two little guys, and I’m so happy for her that her second is here and everyone is well. And… After a much-too-long hiatus, Miss Doxie is back! Seriously, it’s been, like, months and months since she’d posted and her comments section was overflowing with speculation as to whether she’d come back at all and hopes that she would. :: I took Biscuit to his 2-month well-baby appointment yesterday. The verdict? He’s doing great, is about 45th percentile for height and (drumroll please) about 75th percentile for weight! Did I not say he’s a good eater? My little pat of butter. I also noticed an interesting phenomenon: he had two shots so I gave him ½ a mL of infant Tylenol about an hour before his appointment, and another when we was fussy about 6:00 pm. Last night was the first in recent memory (i.e., the last few weeks) that he didn’t cry and cry and cry in the late evening. Did the shots wear him out so he slept easier? Did the Tylenol make him sleepy? Was it just a coincidence and the planets happened to align in a no-cry configuration? Or is he crying every night because he’s in genuine discomfort that the Tylenol attenuated? I don’t really want to drug my kid if it’s just that the Tylenol makes him sleepy, but if he’s in needless pain every night and there something simple and safe we can do to alleviate it, I wouldn’t want to not do it either. This bears further discussion with my doctor I think. :: It’s J’s and my 5th anniversary tomorrow! I think I’ll spend part of the day searching for appropriate gifts…
