Baby Tears=Worst Thing Ever!

Well they are here....Ellery's tears when she cries. :'( You know how I said catching her smiling is the best feeling ever, well seeing big, wet tears slide down the side of her face when she is crying is officially the worst feeling ever. It just makes her cries seem that much more real and it really shows how sad she is.

Last night (6 weeks 1 day old) was the first night I have seen these tears appear. She was crying because she was sooooo tired (she hadn't slept all day) and just couldn't seem to fall asleep. You could tell how frustrating it was for her and nothing seemed to calm her down. We were at the Mahdi's house just hanging out and she just started to cry. So we tried her nook, tried to feed her, tried to walk around their house with her, tried burping her, changed her...nothing seemed to help and actually with the more things we tried the more upset she got. Her face got all red, her body got all hot and sweaty and she just screamed at the top of her lungs! I felt bad because we couldn't figure out how to just get her to relax and sleep, but then I saw it. Under her little eye lashes, big tears started to gather, and then one rolled down the side of her pudgy cheek. :'( It broke my heart. Poor little girl.

Eventually she did calm down and instantly went to sleep but oh those tears broke my heart the rest of the night.
