My baby had colic again today- Had the vet out to give him some pain relief. He seems to be ok now. It wasn't as bad as it usually is, I let him roll under my watchful eye & I honestly think that helped. He was able to do what he needed. When the vet came out he advised me against this- but he was not trashing or rolled much, he was just very uncomfortable. So hope everything is ok this later this afternoon when the pain killers wear off!
I might have to put off my trip to Sydney tomorrow to watch the Savvy Spot lights if he is still not feeling well and see how he is Friday afternoon. But from experience he usually gets colic for 6-8 hours and then is ok. Don't know what he gets it from! Think he just has a very sensitive little tummy!! I've been keeping track & there is NOTHING that could have triggered it this time except for maybe that he is due to be wormed, and maybe he ate too much salt lick today, which is new to my guys- but its been there for a week and a half... He's a mystery!
So if all goes to plan I'm off to Sydney with Kate & Kristen tomorrow! Can't wait! Feeling a little nervous about the dance on Saturday night- haven't been to one since the Deb- & I'm betting it will be a whole lot different than that!!

My Journey To Becoming a Horsewomen
I know I will hit a lot of roadblocks on the way to becoming a horsewomen. But I choose to go to the top & be the very best that I can be.
I know there will be no problems along my the way; only new solutions to find & that I need to think about where I want to go, and who I want to be; think about all the baby steps on the way & every day- work on those.
