    Unhappy Tough couple of days.. reflux? Colic?

    Its not been a great few days...

    Bella is sick , she is crying constantly , she crys when you pick her up, when you put her down, when she is lying, when she is sitting and its even worse when you try and feed her! She will drink about 1/2 her bottle and then when you burp her and lie her down to have the rest she starts to scream and goes all stiff like a board , so Ill put her over my shoulder and burp her some more but she still goes stiff and still screams if she isn't screaming she is making a grunting noise and kinda drawing her legs up to her chest ? so like a little ball so my guess is that it?s a pain of some sort. She has also started having A LOT of saliva and then little spews after the bits of the bottle that she will drink? to make matters worse she REFUSES to sleep during the day, she may have maybe on or two 1/2 hrs cat naps but that's it..
    This may sound like she is just being a baby but its just so out of character for her that I know something is wrong..I am really struggling with 2.5 hrs sleep last night and worrying about the paed looking at her head x-rays today.. im constantly in tears.

    I took her to the doctors today and she thinks that she may have reflux.. im not so sure but I am willing to try and see if the Losec makes any difference?

    I have just come back from a 2 hr walk as that's the only time that I can get her to sleep.. I am so tiered! The house is a mess and we have money worries after we had to pay $400 excess on our car when the crash was not our fault? then the ppl who own the house next door have gone and got the fence replaced to that's another $400 that we didn't count on and all this when my matt leave (saved up annual leave) has just ran out..

    Has anyone elses bub been through things like this?? Maybe its just a phase that will end soon??

    Anyway thanks for listening? it turned into a mini vent! Feels better to get it all out..
