I'm a true believer that God always gives us just what we need. After another rough night w/baby girl, I was sooo glad to see Mama B this afternoon. Olivia's paternal grandmother came over today to give me some relief. My darling daughter has been giving me hell these last several nights. I'm not sure whats the cause, but she has been very fussy. Last night was certainly no exception as it took me 3 hrs to get her calm and relaxed enough to get to sleep. She finally crashed around 2:45am. Her eyes would be closed (which I would assume meant she was asleep) and I'd stop rocking and then she'd wake up screaming for dear life! How upsetting this was for me. Unable to console my own child...**tear**. It's been rough, emotionally, rough. I got a migraine last night, hadn't had one of those in a very long time.I've heard she could be going through a growth spurt. She will be 3-weeks old tomorrow, so I'm hoping we are rounding out the end of these wicked nights together. So little, yet so loud...LOL.
Mama B came right in and sent me up to bed. I got a good 2.5 hr nap but was awakened by Olivia's screams. She likes her food to be ready when she wakes up and I guess Gannyma didn't have that bottle in her mouth quick enough. Spoiled huh? Since having that bottle she's been out cold. Mama B got busy cooking up something that smells amazing! I believe she's making some spaghetti and meat sauce. YUMMY! It's so nice to have her here. I thought I could do it all, but I realize that I can't and her help is exactly what I needed today. I was finally able to fold some laundry that I did for myself (imagine that) from this weekend. I would love to vacuum my downstairs and bedroom. Maybe I'll manage that tomorrow. Baby steps.
