Day 72: No Sleep Til Brooklyn

Friday night went swimmingly, as far as sleep was concerned, so I knew there was no way I could have two good nights in a row.  I was sadly correct.  Eisley slept from 2230-2300, then was up until... hmmm... oh yeah, 0930.  I gave her to my parents at 0700 because I was just spent.

Eisley slept for 20 minute stretches every hour to hour and a half.  Unfortunately, that's not good sleep for anyone -- even a newborn.  I got to the point where I didn't even try to go to sleep because it made it so hard to get up and was frustrating.  If I just played on my phone for 20 minutes, then picking her up wasn't as cumbersome.

I got an hour and a half of sleep this morning, from 0800 - 0930.  My mom came to wake me up to nurse Eisley because she figured it was about that time.  I knew she would fall asleep while nursing, so I decided that she would just sleep on me.  If I could get her to sleep for just an hour straight on me, then possibly she'd sleep longer if we moved her.

Honestly, I was fine having her sleep on my for hours, but I had to use the bathroom, so the last 20 minutes were pretty rough for my body.  Luckily, my dad magically came to get her and I was all to ready to give her over.

I know my parents would want me to sleep, but it takes an hour to fall asleep and then I'd probably only have an hour to sleep because Eisley would wake.  I would rather use this time to shower, which I haven't done in two days, or pump, which is quite time consuming and I have to do when I'm not fussing with a baby.

I'll probably shower.

I finally got a pic of the color of Eisley's eyes.  The pic wasn't focused on her, but you can see how dark blue they are... at least for now.  Hopefully they'll get as green as Tyler's.
