Lexie Has Her Days & Nights Mixed Up

Lexie takes great naps during the day, some 3 hours long. But she only sleeps in 1 1/2 to 2 hour spurts and night. A few days ago she was wanting to stay awake for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night several nights in a row... talk about rough! We're hanging in there, though. Last night she was up every 2 1/2 hours but went back to sleep quickly each time, thank God!

She's gotten increasingly fussy and gassy, so I ended up switching her to soy formula for her night-time feedings, just like we did with Luke. She seems to really like it. She eats it much more eagerly than she did the milk-based formula, so it must taste better to her and sit well. I'm also avoiding all spicy stuff and giving her gas drops before each feeding so her little tummy doesn't hurt. It's helping a little, but I've come to the conclusion that she's a little colicy. She seems to fuss off and on in the evenings the last few days and nothing seems to completely help. I can get her settled down, but not completely comfortable. (At least it's not a continuous 3-hour screaming session!)

Don't they say that colic usually begins at around 3 weeks of age? We're just taking it one day at a time. She's definitely eating well... she's already turning into a little chunker.

My neck still bothers me from time to time when I catch myself tensing my shoulders while holding Lexie, but it's so much better than it was. I appreciate prayers at this point for Lexie to get her days and nights corrected and to sleep longer stretches at night. Thank God for my mom coming over a couple days a week to watch the kids so I can have a nice long nap!
