If only you could tell me what was wrong?

Dear Buggie,

You gave mommy such a hard time today! It all started after our lunch date with your Nana. We went to Burlington Coat factory to do some shopping and wait for Auntie Tiff to show up. You all of a sudden started to cry so loud I thought the baby toys were going to fall off the shelf. I took you out of your stroller to try and console you and couldnt. We went and changed your diaper because Daddy and I know you hate to be wet, but that didnt help. Mommy tried to distract you with toys and bright objects in the store, but you still screamed. You were still about an hour from when you should eat again, but mommy tried to give you a bottle. We plopped down in one of the gliders they had for sale and I tried to rock you to sleep...DIDNT WORK! A lady that worked in the baby department came over and had this look on her face. I felt like a horrible mommy and I was so embarresed that you were screaming. The lady suggested that I put you on my legs and rock you...Didnt help...I just kept apologizing to her. Luckily she understood and said she'd rather it be a new baby than a spoiled two year old screaming because they want a toy...Wow! Anyways, I put you back in your carseat/stroller and we headed out! Once I got you moving you fell asleep...whoo...I thought and took a deep breath! Luckily, you slept in the car until we got home, and then off you went again. I changed you again, I let you finish the bottle we started and then I rocked you in my arms and you fell asleep. You slept on me for about 45 mins so I decided I was going to put you down in your bed to finish your nap...BIG MISTAKE! You woke up and the screaming began again...Your legs were tight, your belly was hard...I knew you must have had a tummy ache...You had already gone poopy a couple of times in the morning. I tried rubbing your belly for a little while and you calmed down! I put you on your playmat and you became a happy girl for about 20 mins. You were talking and hitting your toys and were all smiles..then you fell asleep! I decided I was just going to let you sleep where you were. After you woke up it was on again....not really time for bath and bed yet, so mom did everything to try and calm you...we were walking around the house, mommy was singing to you, I even layed you on your changing table so that you could talk to Mrs. Flower (your light) You calmed down instantly and just chatted and smiled away at her...then you got annoyed again and started to scream... I gave you a little bit of tylenol and that seemed to help whatever was causing your pain. It was bath time by this point...which of course you loved..then pjs and a bottle...you finally fell asleep and it was time for bed.....

That was probably one of the hardest days of my life..I felt like I had just climbed a huge mountain and once I got to the top..I just took a deeeeepppp breath! I was exhausted once daddy got home..and I just started to cry! If only you could tell me what was wrong, it is such a guessing game with you little girl. But dont worry, I will do everything and anything no matter what to figure it out!

Mommy loves you!
