Baby Feeding Hours at the Baby Zoo
Two days in, things are going well, but we're predictably tired.
The photographer who makes the rounds of the maternity ward came by, but at an inopportune moment. Will try again when they come around tomorrow, maybe.
Julie's dad is here and is being helpful. I'll take him up on his offer of supporting while I go home for a few hours of uninterrupted sleep tomorrow, I think. Today, I got in some napping but wanted to stay close to Julie and the baby.
Eris is now in the continually-hungry stage (baby past being-born-related exhaustion, but milk supply just coming in), plus she only wants to sleep close to Julie this evening. If we try to put her in the bassinet for a post-feeding nap, she's up again (and often back to being hungry). We're currently passing the time between feedings by watching childcare education videos on the in-room screen.
We had more visitors (Aunt Milly and Cousin Amy, Julie's student Cameron). The baby did have enough of an afternoon nap to give Julie a chance to sync up with her student. Seems they got some good work done in terms of coordinating next steps on their project.
I haven't yet had any coffee. I'm kind of scared to see what that will do to me after a few days off, and I want to be able to drop off to sleep when the moment is right. Plus the coffee snob in me doesn't want my first cup back to be a cup of hospital drip. (I'll keep that contingency in reserve.) I have enjoyed a cup or two of tea.
