DH has LO in the bedroom tonight and I am sleeping on the couch to regroup and work on finishing my online class. I know he needs to sleep too but he is dealing with the fussiness while I get work done and then sleep the rest of the night. I haven't slept more than 3.5/4 hrs since LO was born so we'll see how this goes...

LO is 5 weeks today and the past couple days has been SOOOO fussy, especially when we try to burp her. She seems so gassy. Gas drops, playtex drop ins (which seemed to be working before), burping in different positions..I don't know what to do. Even my mother said she's hard to burp but now she's also in pain. And she didn't poop today. (This happened once about a week ago too.)

Anyway my "easy" baby is no more, my class is stressing me out, and I didn't sleep last night on top of crying (about something else), so I am feeling physically weak and emotionally distraught. I wasn't even up with LO all night, I was up wondering whether to wake her up to feed her and whether she would scream and cry again if I woke her up..

I read that fussiness peaks at six weeks although I can't seem to find out why. I sure hope this is the truth! This too shall pass, right?
