as it turns out, Eden is still a thoroughly delightful child! she is just a pleasure to be around. she laughs or smiles almost every time she and I make eye contact, which makes me just want to look in her face all day long. she had been saying, "ah," and all the open mouth noises and raspberries, but yesterday, for the first time in her life, she started saying, "ba ba ba." and when I do it back to her, she thinks it's the funniest thing. I love that girl.
also, now she wakes up once or twice a night every other night or so. it feels random, but i'm sure it must not be to her. I wonder if she's ready for solids, since that's one of the signs the pediatrician said to look out for. but I don't want to yet. I don't feel ready. exclusively nursing is so much easier. but then again, she is taking about 6+ ounces 3 times at daycare, and that's a whole heck of a lot to produce/pump through my work day. I don't know if I can keep up anymore. this week, especially, my supply has taken a dip. we'll see, but solids may be in our near future.
also, I keep talking about putting her in Moses' room, but I still haven't done it. I did it this weekend at Nana and Grandpa's house, and it worked... sorta. one night, she woke up twice, and one was because of a dirty diaper. so, it was kind of a bad night's sleep. the second night was great though. huh. maybe I need to start solids and be done with this night walking (if it is definitely because she's hungry, but i'm not sure!!)
motherhood can be riddled with doubt. one second, you're super mom with everything figured out, and the next minute, baby changes things up, and you don't know what's happening! :)
