Both colicky, both hate to be put down and want to be constantly entertained, and both fight sleeping. I'm right there with you, only mine has yet to smile at me yet, so I still think she hates me.<br/><br/>(And Cordy was much the same, although at least she would sit in her bouncy seat for a time. And here I thought things couldn't get worse than her as an infant. Ha.) Our two little girls are so alike.

We kept holding out hope that when Nate finally got the correct reflux med and dose, it would be MAGIC. No magic was found despite great meds, he was a fussy high-maintenance high-need baby who bucked naps, showed no signs of tiredness, and screamed if you missed the teeny-tiny window when it was the RIGHT TIME to put him down.<br/><br/>I was Twin Binky Bitch for awhile. In a glazed sleepless stupor, I counted replacing binkies 57 times at one nap between the two of them. And that was a good nap.<br/><br/>Back and forth between the pack and plays I went, replacing binkies and listening to double crying. Every minute of Twin Binky Bitch was worth it once they learned to put it back in their mouths themselves... SWEET SILENCE. Oh my goodness, reading this reminded me of when my boys were newborns.

He fought sleep with every fiber of his being. It SUCKED!!!! Glad she's not crying quite so much, though. And yay for smiles! Now if she would just figure out that she can suck her thumb instead of that damn binky . . . We had a sleep fighter, too! He fought sleep with every fiber of his being. It SUCKED!!!!

She's like Arlo but in a girl's body. We just completely a rather lovely crying jag which involved me eventually having to put him down and close the door of another room so that I could actually (gasp!) eat one fucking thing today before I passed out. And all because he too fights the nap. Oh, and wakes up as soon as you dare to put him down. Seriously? She’s like Arlo but in a girl’s body.
