It's 9:24 a.m. and the apartment is quiet except for the sound of rain coming from my Lil Bear's white noise machine. I can't believe it's already December 12. Where did the time go? When I look back I realize that I've accomplished a lot in a little span of time. People thought I was nuts trying to care for an infant and continue on with school but I managed. Looking back I can't help but feel a huge sense of accomplishment. A friend of mine warned that if Lil Bear had colic I'd be screwed in terms of school. Alas, we overcame that obstacle.
Lil Bear has reflux. Took a few weeks of horrible nights full of screaming and crying until our midwife suggested checking out a website FussyBaby.ca The information helped me realize Lil Bear had reflux and how to help ease his discomfort. The website also made me realize I was not alone. Many other women had fussy babies and together we'd be able to make it through the most difficult times. How previous generations survived without internet or Mom & Babe groups is beyond me! Now every time I listen to a mother talk about trying to comfort her fussy baby I make sure she knows about FussyBaby.ca.
Now that school is over and the Victoria Legal Secretaries' Association is adjourned for the holidays I plan to kick back, relax, enjoy watching Lil Bear discover more of his world and prepare for our upcoming road trip.
