Eden woke us up a lot last night—6 feedings between 10 pm and 6 am. Elisa really hasn’t been herself today. By the time she finally had the opportunity to rest this morning, her appetite and her energy were all gone. All day, Tara and Sophie have cared for Eden so Elisa would get some recovery time.

Our midwife dropped in again today. Even though we hoped she would have some counsel about how we could make our nights go easier, she said that wouldn’t be possible. Eden is too young to adopt anyone’s schedule other than her own. The midwife also reminded us that this is the job we signed up for, and that first-time parents are bound to be too tired to function.

We’ve continued to upload a few baby photos each day.
