Like Ehlan has told me, it's always something...
Last week, I was begging the heavens to let Lola sleep at night. This week, she developed a schedule where she slept during the night time hours (9 PM - 1 AM, then 2 AM - 5 AM), BUT she has been a terror during the afternoons/evenings. At one point, I turned to Josh and said " Oh God, do you think she has C*lic?" (I'm not even spelling the entire word in fear that it may be true). I don't think she has it, but still, you don't get much done when you are trying to comfort a grumpy baby from noon to 7 PM.

here is my serene baby of last week...oh where has she gone?
I now know why some mothers have incredible biceps. I believe there's a good chance I may soon own guns without even having to go to the gym. And, if I don't end up with muscles, I know I will definitely develop tennis elbow.
So, all week the afternoons were awful -- with the exception of Wednesday. On Wednesday, Josh's sister, and my mother and sister were all in town. Lola slept all afternoon. Apparently, she just needs a relative to hold her. :)
With her auntie loulou:

I have a lot more to write, including our adventure in Berkeley, but there's 8 pounds of love wailing my name in baby language. :) To be continued....

You've always had guns; don't give us that.
