help! held hostage by my son

yah...pretty frightening. asher has been having one of his "days". happy hour started at 9am today and has lasted until 4:30ish when poppa came home. he was on and off crying since 9am. here was the day...

9am cry, nurse, cry, nurse, snooze, hold for 20 mins, put down after holding, crying
10am cry, nurse, cry, nurse, snooze, hold for 20 mins, put down after holding, cry to be held
and so on until 1pm - mom sneaks a 10 min meal
1:20pm cry, nurse, cry, nurse, snooze, hold for 25 mins, cry, cry, cry, cry
2:30pm still crying, mom takes kona out for potty so we can go pick up poppa since he's already up
2:50pm traffic horrible, call poppa and let him know he has to take the train home, asher sitting comfortably and quietly in carseat, take this opportunity to take a long drive home, still quiet, ride around the neighborhood to checkout what the storm did
3:15pm arrive at home, still quiet, soon as take out of carseat crying begins, change diaper, nurse him to calm, still nursing, falls asleep, hold for 20 mins, stirs awake, crying begins
4pm nurse to calm, nods off to sleep, decide to hold him until felix gets home at 430pm

we decide to go for kona's walk since he's stirring to wake up. we walk the neighborhood taking in the sites as asher finally falls asleep. when we get home, he wakes up and felix bounces him until 730pm with white noise playing loud, after 30 mins of bouncing attempts to put him down in his crib and ends up waking up. shift change, i resume the bouncing, but instead he's swaddled and bouncing in his bouncer. finally nods off to slumberland at 750pm and is now sleeping peacefully.

whew...hopefully he'll sleep long and deep to give us a break.

it just seems we can't do much when he's not so happy. colic is a horrible condition to have and poor asher is just too cute to be this way. i'm going to fatten him up so he gains weight and pray for healthy development of his digestive system. books say when he's at 11 lbs, his body is getting stronger so the colic won't be so bad. that'll be in 2 weeks, hoping so...
