Day 2 had its share of fun. Johanna slept from 9 pm to 7 am with only a brief feeding at midnight. She then cried from 8:30-10:00, when we both fell asleep on the couch. I can still hear the crying, and it's no fun knowing you've done everything you think you can do - feed, change, burp, walk around, etc. and nothing works. She seems to like to lie on my arm in what the hospital called the "football hold." She relaxes if I walk around, esp. in bright light with her in that position. It also helps that I talk to her... Rumor has it I was the same way as a baby - lots of crying, lots of walking around.
We went to Felida 3 times today. Other than that, we stayed home and napped. She didn't particularly like the Charlie Chaplin movie I rented from Netflix - she slept right through it.
This week's social agenda is filling up fast: Lunch with Judy and Cindy Wednesday, a visit to Grandma's Thursday night and Friday, and a TBA lunch with Phyllis.
On a final note, I can't carry Johanna in the football hold with my right arm anymore - I seem to have strained by elbow! I'm pretty sure that's what did it because my left arm is starting to hurt the same way.
Is It Hayfever or Is It Pertussis?
