One Month Later...

One month after the birth we've been asked if things are getting better, the answer is simple.

No.

It would seem Spencer has colic.  And he sure has a lot of it!  Things actually seem to get worse each day.  With him not sleeping at all some nights, one (or both) of us is a complete zombie the following day and sometimes a 'quick tempered' one at that.  A few nights now I've driven Spencer around to get him quiet; one night I drove all the way from Albertville to Buffalo just to calm him down.  That particular night had fog so dense you could only see two of the center lane dashes in some parts.

To top it off I'm just coming off a few days cold or flu.  Luckily, I was more lethargic than my normal whiny self (when I'm sick now... come on I'm not whiny any other time!) and just slept, unfortunately leaving Crystal to fend for herself.  To say thanks I ordered flowers to be delivered today for her but got a call around 4p saying that the (FTD) couldn't find someone to fulfill the order and would I want it delivered tomorrow.  Thinking I'd have time to stop (hah!) and get them myself I said no.  As a result I came home late due to traffic with no flowers.  Instead I took the kids and dog for a pre-dinner drive.  Not quiet the same, but hopefully she appreciated it anyway.

I still brought home the receipt as proof that I ordered the flowers.  :-)
