Last night almost broke my heart. There is nothing quite like hearing your baby cry and not being able to do anything about it. LB had to cry herself to sleep last night--her mom was useless. She wouldn't eat, couldn't fall asleep. So she cried, and I cried. I turned off the light and put her in our bed to see if she'd like that better than her cradle, but it didn't help. I walked down the hallway away from our bedroom, but I couldn't just leave her there. So I sat with her and rubbed her tummy while she cried and cried. I turned on the light after a while to attempt to calm her down. I had no idea what i was going to do, but turning the light on startled her a bit and she stopped crying. She looked around through wet, red-rimmed eyes for about 10 minutes and then her eyes shut, and she fell asleep with her fists clenched. I moved her to her cradle after that, and she slept through the night, until 7:30 this morning. All that crying must have wiped her out pretty badly. I know it wiped me out. And this morning she only fed for 1/2 an hour and then fell asleep again for almost an hour. Then she fed a bit more and fell asleep for 4 1/2 hours, me with her. And now she's sleeping again...

I was going to attempt grocery shopping again today, but said screw it and ordered pizza instead. Yum.
