So last night I decided to let Chris sleep and see how I did with doing the whole feed/change on my own. Since we came home last Wednesday Chris will typically get up and change Evelyn and then I follow and feed her. I just figured that I needed to start getting used to doing these things on my own during the week considering Chris gets up at 5:30am to get ready for work. I found out that I wasn't quite as tired as I thought I would be until around 3:00pm this afternoon. And, despite my best efforts, I did not get a good nap when I stretched out on the couch. Chris had gone to get a chain to fix the upstairs toilet and also get a haircut. I had fed Evie about an hour before that, which left me with about an hour to try and grab a little nap. Problem #1...falling asleep takes some time. Problem #2...a bird flew into the back window and scared the crap out of me and then we were back to Problem #1. By the time I had dozed off for about 15 minutes our little Evie-bee started to grunt and grumble and make it known that she was a little bit peckish. So, nap aborted for today.
All in all, though, I have to say that she is typically a pretty calm little baby. It's almost 7pm right now and she's been awake since about 3:45 and relatively alert. She only seems to get fussy when she's hungry. We started on Friday with having Chris giving her a bottle of breast milk for one feeding. Our pediatrician had suggested not waiting too long to introduce her to this and when I inquired if now was too early he said no. Thankfully she took to it like a champ and isn't too picky about temperature of the milk. Basically it can't be cold, but room temperature is fine. I took a short video of Chris feeding her that I hope to post soon. In the mean time here is a great picture of Evelyn nearly asleep from this morning:
