Update

She is smiling! I haven't caught it on camera or video yet, but it melts my heart.  She is happiest in the morning and will usually smile as soon as I walk into her room to get her.  This morning I carried her into the bathroom to see Ryan, who was getting ready for work, and she smiled so big when she saw him.  So sweet.

We are working on the colic, but for right now, it seems to be something that we just have to deal with as best as we can.  The Mylicon drops do help, but there are still evenings (tonight, for one) where she cries no matter what. I've tried every trick in the book (and every trick on every website, every trick suggested on facebook, every trick EVERYWHERE), but while they may work for a few minutes, it still ultimately ends in a car ride or her getting hungry and nursing herself to sleep. It's incredibly frustrating. Keep calm and carry on is my new mantra.  For the record: she HATES wind in her face.

A lot of people ask how I am doing adjusting to mommy-hood.  I think I'm doing about as expected for a new mother who is still waking up several times each night to feed and spending at least a while every day trying to console a baby, sometimes on my own when Ryan is at work.  I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth socially, and it looks like it will stay that way for awhile.  She is just not doing well with the bottle, which means I can leave her with someone else for an hour - maybe two - before I need to be back in case she is hungry.  I think we will try to get her through this colic, and then try to reintroduce the bottle again - and when that is successful, I will be calling my girlfriends for an evening out.  In the meantime, Ryan does his best to help me, but unless he starts lactating, it looks like it's me.
