Lots of tears, lots of sleep, loss of hair

Last night AnnaLynn had a long episode of crying. I think it was about 3-4 hours or more of on again, off again (mostly on) crying. She had gas, was hungry and exhausted, and was too worked up to eat or sleep. We gave her some gas medicine and tried the tummy rubbing method to pass the gas along. Those efforts seemed to work pretty well, but she was still upset. Finally, we decided to try to bottle feed her a little. I pumped 3 ounces and gave it to Tony. He got to feed his daughter for the first time! She very slowly drank the whole bottle. She was then full and dry with most of the gas passed. It didn't take long after that to get her to sleep. It was 10:30 when she finally went down and she hadn't had a decent nap since around 2 pm!! Well, much to our joy, she slept until 4:30 am! Six hours... it was so nice! Hopefully she doesn't feel so bad tonight, but maybe we can keep the 6 hour stretch? yeah right.

Oh, and a few days ago I noticed her hairline looked to be receeding. Yes, infact, she is loosing her hair. She is mainly loosing the hair above either eye, so she looks like she either has a very dramatic widow's peak or a mohauk. But this can easily be disgised with a bow or cut knitted hat from her YaYa.
