So resting when the little one rests really does work. I'd been fighting it, trying to get things done around the house, watch tv, etc, but the exhaustion really does catch up with you. And once the exhaustion is there, the anxiety (think: monkey chatter) creeps in. So finally I rested. Pumped last night, was able to get some decent sleep, slept solid 4 hours, pumped again, slept another 3-4 hours and then rested this afternoon. We had a LONG feeding, well she didn't want to get up for the 1PM feeding. And then once she did, she didn't want to eat. And then by 2:30 she was ready to eat but not sleep. So we put together her new overhead jungle gym. To keep her entertained. She looked like, at times, that she would do some push ups. But she's not a gym rat yet. She liked her new gym for a bit but then by 3:30 got real tired, so we put her down. I slept for 30 minutes. Pumped. And then slept for a bit until Mark got home. And boy does sleep do the body wonders. So now, it's 9PM, uploading some video, pump ( can you sense the theme here?) and try for two nights of good sleep in a row!
Drove today for the first time since the birth. Went in the morning before the heat became too bad. Found out that Radio Shack does not have a cord to hook up the digital camera to the computer. Looks like online shopping for me. On another note, polished off the graham crackers, so no more left. Think I finally have gotten over the obsession from the hospital.
