nursing again.

well, i'm on a rollercoaster ride. the morning after i wrote my last blog Alana decided she wasn't ready to stop nursing, either that or she was no longer going to eat ever- quite the diet plan. She would no longer take a bottle, at all. I ate milk and oreos the night before so that i wouldn't be tempted to nurse her. Well, she just cried, screamed and wouldn't eat. obviously i started to break down. I called the doctor, and they said that since she had never had blood in her stool nor had ever had a diaper rash she probibly wasn't allergic to dairy (awesome, i've been without dairy for no reason). They said, start nursing her again and see what happens, come in if things get worse. Well she nursed (kinda) and stopped screaming. Now, she sometimes nurses and sometimes wants a bottle, i can never quite figure it out but the result of all of this--crying a lot of crying. For the past couple nights she has been waking up multiple times. She is even more squirmy then before which makes nursing laying down and both of us falling asleep impossible. I dont know what is wrong, i dont know why my child is unhappy a lot, and in pain a lot. We cant allergy test her yet because she is too young. I'm at my wits end, i'm tired. Our sweet jade hasn't skipped out on being an almost two year old either. Two nights ago the cute thing woke us up at 3am...singing. She sang for more than an hour, than cried. Last night she get us up at the same time because she was having a full blown conversation, than cried. Between these two girls i'm quite tired and Cameron and i have run short on patience. its ok though because they are beautiful and amazing little things when they are happy. thought you may want the update.
