Colic

I type this as silently as possible because E sleeps on my lap at 4:30 AM. I fear she's colicky. From 12:30 AM until about 4 AM it's nonstop painful wailing. I think it's overstimulation; swaddling her and holding her straight-jacket tight in a dark and quiet room calms her down in about 5 minutes. She doesn't eat or need changed or burped -- just stillness.

By the way: after all we went through to get her, I say she can cry all she wants, as long as she's breathing.
