Last night was rough. It started out as yesterday being rough. Hubby went to a new shift at work, Alek was home from his babchi's house for the hospital stay. Pip barely ate. She ate really well the day before 31oz when she only needs 28oz per her pediatrician. But she also ate from midnight. Anyway, she ate maybe a grand total of 18oz in 24 hours. Which made me worry. Because she'd eat 1-2oz every 2-3 hours and slept in between. She did eat almost the whole container (3.5oz) of apples I gave her and almost all the sweet potatoes. I gave in trying to push formula at around 10 last night. Gave her some loratab and spent an hour trying to put her to sleep.
230 she woke up. After many failed attempts of putting the paci back and rocking the pack n play, I made a bottle. Out of the 4oz she drank one and happily dozed back off. Until 330. Drank another one ounce. After that she got up every 15-30 minutes until 730. Then Alek got up.
She's been at least eating better for me today. And playing. As she gets more used to this cast I'm hoping she'll go back to sleeping 6-8 hours at night.
Needless to say, everything that I thought would be hard about this is rather easy, diapering, pain tolerance, carrying. And the things that I thought wouldn't have changed - feeding, sleeping - are harder right now (sucks to assume right?). Although, the one thing that I thought would've been decent was travel. I thought the dr would've made the cast at least somewhat fitting the car seat that's made for this. It was very hard to hear that the most likely way we were going to go home was to strap my 6 month old to the seat of the car with a belt. I'm really glad they got her to fit in the car seat.
