Ok, so last night was horrible...

Ok, I wrote this on 7/25 (Saturday), but just now realized that it never got posted. Stephanie encouraged me to go ahead and post it, so that you guys can see where our minds were at during this point in time:

Miss Ada had a bad night last night (and consequently, so did mommy and daddy). She woke up last night at about 7 in the evening, right after I posted the recap, and decided she wanted to be fussy. For the next 7 hours, we played detective to her game of "Whatdoneit?". We tried to feed her and she would feed for thirty minutes and then she'd stop. So we'd go and try and put her down, and she'd start acting like she was hungry again. So mama got ready and she ate for another thirty minutes and then stopped. When we went to put her down, she started rooting and crying again. So we tried to feed her YET AGAIN, but this time she'd hold her mama's breast in her mouth and try to fall asleep, rather than eating. After a bit of us trying to wake her up and her not complying, we decided to put her down with a pacifier (something Stephanie and I swore we'd never use).

She stayed down for a little bit before she started crying again. Steph tried feeding her, but she refused to take it, even though she was acting like she was hungry. By this time, Steph was in tears because she didn't know what to do. Then we heard Ada's tummy grumbling and she let out a loud fart. We hoped that this would fix the problem, but it didn't. Her tummy kept hurting her.

By this time (around 4 am), it had been nearly 24 hours since Steph had gotten ANY sleep. So I made an exectutive decision to send Ada to the nursury for 2 hours so that Stephanie could at least get that much sleep. It killed us to watch her go (Steph cried for a bit), but in the morning, we both felt like it was the best decision.

And now, she's being fussy again. It's funny how she wasn't anything like this on the first day. I thought Stephanie birthed an angel. Now I'm begining to wonder if she isn't the anti-christ.

And if I have to tell you I'm joking, then you don't know me that well.
