Trials and Tribulations

Ever have one of those weeks when everything seems to go wrong? That you can't seem to do anything fast enough or good enough?

If so, welcome to my world this week.

We've been trying to solve our daughter's gas problems by switching her to soy formula. It worked. No more gas. Unfortunately, soy caused her to be constipated. Bad for baby, REALLY bad for us. There is nothing sadder than a 2 month old's cry after she tries pushing out a hard poop. Once we figured out what the problem was, we switched her back to her old formula, only to have the gas return. So now we have to deal with about 3 hours of colic everyday, because poor Kaylee has such bad gas pains (and yes, she is on the "gassy" formula, but it doesn't seem to do a whole lot).

Then, we ran into a problem with our well, as we lost water pressure for the house. That meant no water coming into the house. We then discovered that our stored water was expired, and so had to make an emergency run for bottled water. The person who was left behind had to deal with prime-time colic all on their own. Needless to say, not a good evening.

Then we had to fight with our insurance company. They wanted to classify my emergency c-section as "elective surgery", which means they don't have to pay for it. So after many phone calls to doctors, insurance company, insurance broker, and hospital, we finally got that cleared up (fingers crossed). We hope.

I'm thinking of running away to join the circus. Anyone care to join me?
