Day 121: Two Months

Eisley was two months old today.  My, how time flies.  We took her picture next to Big Bird.  I do need to print some more pics to work on the baby book further.

Last night Eis fell asleep at around 2300.  I went to bed shortly after.  I woke up a bit later and was surprised that I didn't hear Eisley crying and that it was 0400.  She'd slept five hours!  She was also still asleep.  I considered letting her sleep, but my left boob was so engorged that it had soaked the breast pad in my sleep bra and was still leaking.

I decided to pump a little before I woke her up.  I pumped two ounces and it was still hard as a rock, but had stopped leaking, at least.  Finally, I decided to wake her up.  She didn't need to be changed, so we proceeded with snack-time.  After eight minutes, she was done and sleepy again.  I put her in the sleeper, but she fidgeted too much and wouldn't sleep.  By now, she needed a new diaper.  I changed her, nursed her for another couple minutes and she fell asleep again.  She seemed to want to stretch out, so I put her in the crib and she stayed asleep.

I pumped my left side more and ended up with about four ounces.  I poured it into a freezer bag and went to sleep.  Unfortunately, Eis only slept an hour and a half, then an hour during her next two sleep sessions.  So, we started our day a bit earlier than preferable.

In the afternoon, my parents wanted to go for a "drive." I asked where, but they said, "Just a drive."  I thought that sounded awful, especially considering I would be in the backseat in the middle.  Plus, their timing was off with Eis.  She was about to wake up and want to nurse and thus need to be changed about 3 times in fairly rapid succession, which was not particularly conducive to a car ride.

Eventually, when they got back, I was told that we would not be having steak for dinner, but I could have a Lean Cuisine because they'd eaten DQ Blizzards and would probably have a sandwich or snack, if anything at all.  I was a bit taken aback.  No steak and no Blizzard?  What was this?  To top it off, the only Lean Cuisine in the freezer was macaroni with beef.  Exciting... :(

I spent my evening making a birth announcement for Eis.  Yes, I know, it's rather late.  However, there was a Groupon for Mixbook, so I checked it out and liked what I saw.  I originally made one from their ... oh, man... what is that word... model?  It's not "model," but it's something like that.  They have a thingy and I just input my text and drop in my pics and I don't have to think.  Then, I decided I could probably make one just as good, if not better, that wouldn't be so same-same.  I will say that mine is better and it is the one we will be purchasing.

I spent a few minutes trying to take a pic of Ty and myself today.  At first, it was an attempt at a family pic, but Eis was just too fussy and didn't want to look at the camera, so it became a parent pic.
