Day 82: Respite

Eisley slept decently last night. I got four hours, though not all together.  We got up at 0720 and began our cycle of change diaper, nurse, nap, and I added pumping to the routine, so Michelle could have a chance to feed her sometime.

I need to keep pumping, but it is difficult to find time that doesn't interfere with Eisley eating.

Michelle got here at 1700, but prior to her arrival, Eisley had a blowout.  Wipes just weren't enough, but luckily my mom got home just in time and helped me "hose" her down.  I held her over the tub and my mom washed her off with my detachable shower-head.

Eisley was fussy when Michelle got here, but Michelle got her quiet and Eisley took a nap.  I fed her while all the grandfolk ate dinner, then passed her to Michelle again while I ate.  I had a headache, as usual, but it was a bit worse tonight.  I didn't feel good after eating.

Around 2230 I was given Eisley because she'd woken up and was hungry.  She didn't go to sleep until 0100, but she did sleep until 0445, which was nice. Though I had some issues while sleeping.  At one point I found myself standing in the middle of the nursery and I didn't know what I was doing in there. I didn't know if I'd changed her, fed her, or just put her down.  I was quite confused, but as she was sleeping, I decided to go back to my room to sleep.

It's been an hour since she woke up and I'm hoping she'll go back to sleep soon.

On another note, Puck slept in our "wing" last night.  My parents are going to Conroe tomorrow and will be gone for three nights, so he needed to acclimate back to being with me.  He didn't sleep in my bed or even my room, but he did sleep on the bed in the nursery, which was good enough.

I just put Eisley in her sleeper and as I lowered her down, she laughed for the first time.  It was short and the cutest thing ever.  I have no idea what she was laughing at -- I think a dream -- but it was funny and adorable.  I hope to be able to record it sometime.  However, I must go, she is debating sleeping or fussing and I don't want any fussing.
