For those of you new moms currently entrenched in the depths of colic hell, I wanted to provide you with some visual proof that things will improve. Samuel at 10 days old- Colic Hell Samuel at 7.5 months- The happiest baby on the block

I did this awhile ago too....Its good for us to show what they looked like before, and now after. There really is light at the end of the tunnel. I took pics EVERYDAY of her life, from the time she was born till now. Its so well documented all the stages she went thru. The first 5 months of her life, she was swaddled about 75% of the time!! lol She was always bright red, and balled up. She woulnd't cuddle, wouldnt look at us. She just closed her eyes and screamed for hours....It was really heartbreaking. It was rough, but OMG is it WORTH IT!!!!!!! I *ADORE* her now, I couldnt imagine life without her.....when for awhile there, I was regretting the choice of ADDING her to my life!!! She ACTUALLY cuddles with me now too!!! Her face is more relaxed...her body is not tense anymore...its so weird. It really feels like they are possessed or something, during the time they are colicky. I've watched it twice with my girls...when both of them went thru colic. Its the strangest thing. Now days she can't STOP smiling!!!! I'm told atleast 10 times a day what a happy baby she is. I always chuckle and think..."if you ONLY knew what she started out as!!"

Thanks for the compliments- I think he's pretty cute too . I actually didn't take very many pictures of him crying, therefore not many pictures of him before about 4 months. My husband had taken that picture, and I only saw it recently. It still breaks my heart to see him like that. Poor little guy.

Could put that exact "before" picture up now and would also label it hell. Good to know you all felt the same way and that it does get better!

Samual is absolutely adorable, what a smile on hhim. Hes so cute I would let my Livvy date him. Tamara I have never seen a picture of Brooklyn crying, she does not even resemble that baby I am so used to seeing.
