Ugh…Kieran has been getting worse as far as sleeping and eating are concerned.  My frustration level is rising on an hourly basis along with my blood pressure. I’m so nervous about our trip this coming weekend. We’ll be on a plane for several hours. I’m so afraid he’ll cry the whole time and there will be nothing I can do. 

I am at my wits end as far as what to do with him so I have finally caved and am trying to eliminate dairy from my diet to see if it’s possible that Kieran is lactose intolerant.  It sucks.  So. Much.  I am so addicted to dairy products and to cut cheese and milk out of my diet is so hard.  I never realized what a huge percentage of my diet has dairy in it. Even some margarine has dairy in it. And salad dressing. And I like to add cheese to pasta and salad.  Anyway, I don’t know what I’ll do if this works and Kieran is suddenly much happier when I cut out dairy.  On the other hand, if it doesn’t work that would almost be worse because I have no other alternatives.  I’ll keep you updated.  He’s waking up.  Sigh…
