Mama said there'd be days like this... But she never mentioned nights.

Last night may have been the longest night of my life. I put James down at 8pm and then went to bed myself. James sleeps with us so this is pretty normal. Usually he closes his eyes and goes right to sleep. Last night he just laid there, wide eyed, starring at me. I tried rocking him, snuggling, nursing, white noise... Finally rocking worked. But the second I tried to lay him down he was wide awake again. Along with being up, he was also very cranky. I'm sure it was the colic and reflux. The medicine doesn't seem to be helping yet. Hopefully it will kick in soon. All night long he was fussy, wanted to nurse, wouldn't sleep. Today is pretty much the same as it was last night. Poor little man.
Because of this, I've decided to try to live on fruits, veggies, chicken, and whole grains. I am hoping it will help with James' digestion. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not the healthiest eater but I've now found motivation.
But even after a very long night, and a napless morning, James is still smiling:
