So it goes.

This is pretty much life right now... I'm feeling optimistic for tomorrow morning's appointment with the lactation consultant because I really think Evelyn has to have gained some weight this week. The goal is to get her 16 oz. of milk per day and I think we're at least very close to that every day between the finger-feeding and nursing. While I'm anxious to move past this period of one-hour sleep windows (with the occasional 2 hour stretch thrown in - a real treat), I'm also finding little bits of joy in between all the fatigue and worry. Evelyn is getting stronger and a little bit more alert every day.

I made a decision last night to take an incomplete in one of my classes. I have a pretty major project due in the class this coming Tuesday and I missed the class before spring break where everything for that project was explained, so I tried looking at this SPSS output data and working on it but my brain just cannot even begin to make sense of it. So I emailed my professor and he was really understanding. I'm not sure exactly what I'll do, but at least I'll have the summer to make it up and by then I might have my feet back under me.

Time for me to rest some more... 45 minutes until the next feeding session begins!
