Welcome!

My daughter, Rowan, is exactly 2 months old today.  The last 2 months have been the best and the scariest of my life.  When I say scary I am not just referring to being a first-time parent (although that's pretty damned scary in and of itself), but to being a parent of a child with pain.  From the moment she was born, Rowan has cried constantly.  This isn't any normal cry.  This is a very loud, strong, high pitched, I am in pain here Mom and you aren't fixing it cry.  The kind of cry that makes even grown men cry, as my dear husband did, when nothing you do helps.  The kind of cry that makes even the most sane person crazy.  Some call it 'colic' (I hate that description) while others call it Reflux, gassiness or just fussy.  The one word I will never use to describe it is 'normal' as that does nothing but infuriate and frustrate worried parents.  That being said, I want nothing more than to have a happy, healthy baby girl and, in reality, she is.  But she has this problem that I can't solve that makes her, and everyone around her, unhappy.  I will, over the next few posts, give a run down of the last two months.  I will describe, in detail, what issues we have dealt with and what solutions, if any, we found.  Hopefully, through our trial and error, we may help shed light on issues that other parents are suffering through.  At the very least, I hope we can take comfort in knowing we aren't alone.  If you, or someone you know, are having similar issues with your baby, please share your story in the comments section!
