So Lilah cried until 1 AM last night, starting at 5 PM. It was rough. Thank god for my husband. He took her at 10:30 to let me sleep. I slept for only a couple hours before getting up, fed her, and she slept on me from 1 to 5 this morning. It was a really rough night. We also ended up giving her some formula again. She drained me dry while my friend was here, and then wouldn't calm down enough to breast feed, so she ended up having 2 ounces. Every time we end up giving her formula, I feel like I should just give up on breast-feeding. I just have to keep reminding myself how much I want to do it. And wow, realizing how expensive it is to formula feed. We bought one container of soy formula and it was 16 bucks!
She's been a good girl today, though. Sleeping and eating well, being a little angel. After I breast feed her, even if I'm just switching sides, she smacks her lips like it was delicious and its really freaking adorable.
You ladies still waiting, I am right there with you! Especially those that are overdue, talk about losing your mind with impatience! I was ready to do just about anything to get my baby out when I passed my due date. Now, I wish I had spent that week I went over sleeping instead of trying to find ways to induce labor. I would say you live and you learn, but if I decide to have another kid, I'd probably do the same thing all over again.
