Pop Quiz: Why Is Alice Crying?
1. She has gas.
2. She's sick of reading headlines about Sarah Palin.
3. She is outraged that they made a "new" 90210--Brenda and Brandon will always be #1 in her heart.
4. She is hungry.
5. She just heard that "competitive crying" has been added as an Olympic sport for the 2012 games, and she's fairly certain she can take the gold if she starts training now.
One of my books says "birds fly, babies cry". So maybe she is just being herself? Ugh. I know it can be an awful time, so, so hard. I really find it gets easier at six weeks, and then easier still at twelve. Hang in thre, she is beautiful!
I'm so impressed that you can keep being this articulate and creative despite having a new born...And it does get easier. Wait until she can tell you why she's crying, but then you may not be able to shut her up :).
