The 7 am feeding

I woke up and laid awake in bed starting at 6:45. I heard Eden stirring from about 6:55 or so, and she really woke up around 7:10, so that's when I fed her. I think she took a pretty full feeding, though pretty sleepy, and dirtied two diapers during the process (every baby likes a clean canvas), and then she was awake with me and family, and then:
- 8:00 swaddle, finish a conversation with husband
- 8:05 to 8:10 sit down, holding Eden upright on chest and patting back softly
- 8:10 put Eden down awake 
- 8:20 Eden was sleeping! Miraculous! 

I think this morning nap is affected by three things:
- amount of sunlight coming in through window (she's sensitive to light)
- amount of wake time needs to be under and hour (she's tired in the morning!)
- (maybe?) cluster feeding th evening before somehow affects the morning

That's what I have to say about that so far. :)  if I do all these things, she kind of becomes a textbook baby. Otherwise, sensitive and quickly overtired.
