Mommy pains

I have what's called a perma-headache. It's from lack of sleep. And today my eyes aren't focusing. Corey tells me to take a nap, but I don't know how to do that. I will lay down with my eyes closed for an hour and not sleep. I've never been able to sleep during the day.



Last night was interesting. Elise slept for 6 hours before waking up a 4am. You would think that this was great and that this should allow me to sleep, but my head hurt so bad last night that I couldn't sleep and I just laid there staring at the ceiling. I always feel like I've just dozed off by the time she wakes up. Also, when she sleeps for that long, I wake up engorged looking at her like "HELP!".



But of course there are the good things. Elise is smiling more and focusing her eyes on things more often. Even at 4am when I'm dead tired after a feeding, she will smile at me and it makes it all ok. I'm still trying to get a good smiley picture. But this one is pretty cute too.

Welcome Elise

I know! It's been a month! But here she is.
