I wonder if DH saw the light? Short update...
Katie went back to her old formula because for the 3rd timethis wk she had to have a suppository to poo.  We're taking her to a pediatric gastro on July 14th and hopefully will get some answers to her problems with gas, reflux, not pooing, etc.
Last night...I think DH saw the light. First he came home and laced in to me about how he doesn't understand WHY this is so hard for me to handle (hello....you're gone all day at work and I'm home alone all day with colicky-Katie).
Then my friend called me and I went out with her for about an hour (thank God I was so happy to get out of the house alone). I have a feeling her Mom (who I call Aunt) called Dh and "explained" things to him. Becuase, when I got home he told me to go to bed... It was 9pm. I went right to bed and he stayed up with fussy baby until 1am. Then he put her in the bassinet in our room and he went to the guest room to sleep. Much to my SHOCK she slept until 5am!! I actually got to sleep from about 10pm until 5am!!!!! I'm in complete shock, really.
This morning I gave her her bottle, thinking she'd only take an ounce or two like usual. She took 4.5 oz!! THEN passed out and has been sleeping for an hour!
I KNOW this is a fluke and she still hasn't pooped but I just wanted to share with you all since you've been a huge support to me...that I got some sleep last night and she is napping today. 
Knock wood that this lasts a little longer... or maybe for good (I know, I'm not getting my hopes up)...she is 6 weeks old today  Image Attachment(s):

Excellent! Definitely the best way to explain what you do all day with her is to go out & leave her with him.

Re: I wonder if DH saw the light? Short update...
I guarantee DH saw the light all by himself just by staying at home with Katie by himself for an hour! When I was at my most desperate and DH just didn't "get it", he stayed home one day to take care of Alex while I rested, to prove to me that it wasn't as difficult as I claimed. Well, about 2 hours later, DH came to me, plopped Alex in my arms and said "I was wrong".  From that day forth he was unbelievably supportive, would come home on the button at 5pm and take over until 11pm while I slept. I kiss Alex everyday and thank her for being her absolute *worst* for those few hours DH had to take over Taught him one hell of a good lesson!\
So happy you got some rest! Enjoy while it last!

Beth that is too funny - what a GREAT way to prove it to DH!! You know, Katie was up allll night from 9pm-1am being "fussy" and "restless" as DH put it...so he had a little taste of what I go through all day.

Re: I wonder if DH saw the light? Short update...
First off - she is sooo beautiful, I can't stand it.
Second - even though she is colicky - and it's been hard - try to appreciate how little she is, I feel like I didn't really with Talia - I was always wanting her to be older, waiting for a stage to pass - I miss her being little.
Third, 6 weeks is a nice milestone - usually babies start sleeping a little better - maybe drop a night feeding - etc, so maybe it wasn't a fluke - and things will start getting easier from here. Also - it's the half way point to 3 months (Which is when they say colic usually ends) so haaang in there!!
Please let us know what happens at the dr. Although I really hope there is nothing wrong with Katie - maybe they can help with her digestive issues and make life a little easier for both of you.
I hope your Dh continues to be supportive. And if he doesn't on his own - just ask him...not to "help out" but to Change her diaper, or make a bottle, you know - more specific instruction - men work better that way. (and if all else fails - leave them alone for 12 hours - believe me he'll be kissing your feet when you get home).
You are doing a great job Kathy - you are a wonderful mom...this time will pass, I promise!!!
eta: why do you have to wait a month to go to the dr?? Can they fit you in earlier?!?!

So glad you got some rest!!! I hope your DH continues to be supportive of you and Katie keeps up with the sleeping. 6 weeks is supposed to be a turning point. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Isn't it funny how the dads all think it's so easy until they have to take over for a while? And, btw she's adorable!

Re: I wonder if DH saw the light? Short update...
Yay for you!!!! For some reason I think babies sleep better when daddy puts them to bed 
Just to make sure he doesn't forget how hard it is leave him alone with her - say once a week or so.
P.S...DD has the same outfit...so cute with a heart on the butt
