say it ain't so..

Brock went for his one month appt. Tuesday and he weighed 8lb8oz and had grown to 20 3/4" inches. He has a little acne and the doc said that is probably because he is going through a growth spurt. He is still sleeping pretty good. Most nights there is only one wake up in the middle of the night but sometimes he will do every 3 hours still. He has gotten more fussy in the last couple weeks. If he wakes up in the night or daytime he wants to nurse immediately if it has been 3 hours. Even if you try to talk to him -he does not want to hear it-he wants to eat. NOW! He will start throwing a fit. I noticed that he has started to cry in the car (if he loses his pacifer) and for a month he never once cried in the car. He will just fuss more overall if he wants to do something other than what you have him doing. I think it is pretty normal--it is definately not like the 24/7 hour colic we had with Arden. I just wonder because it has changed a little in the past 2 weeks and when i talked to the doc about it he said he said colic developes around 3 weeks and goes to 3 months. He does have little episodes almost every night-only lasting about 30min. where he will cry and you can't do anything for him. Mom said that each one of us had an hour of time that we did that every day. It isn't even every day. I am just a little scared that this will keep getting worse and he will have colic like Arden. I remember the sleep deprivation and the helpless feeling and I don't want to do that again. It was not a fun time. Yesterday he had a bad day and I even put him in the car and drove him around before i went to get Arden from school. I was pretty out of sorts. Just that little glimpse into colic or fussiness and I was afraid. He is growing and starting to say his little goo goo words. He is also smiling at his mommy in the mornings.
