Lucy slept fairly well last night. I got a couple of three-hour chunks, I think - although it all starts to blend together after a while. I've been reading the book, "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and he definitely seems to have a few pointers that are working when she cries. It's really the crying that gets to you - not that she does it all that much, but any amount makes a girl feel helpless, I tell ya. I always end up going to what I know will soothe her, but that leaves me exhausted after a while. We are introducing a bottle to her this week. Since I have not been able to pump, it looks like we are going to have to do a combo of breast and formula. I feel really guilty about this, but what else can I do? If I am being totally honest, I must admit that there is a part of me that is a bit relieved as well. It will be nice to let Pete do some of the feedings. I'm going to try to do both as long as I can, but we'll see how it goes.
Pete and Lucy are on their nightly walk. I should take a nap at this time, but I always blog. I love having my cup of tea and a moment to myself. I plan on going on another adventure tomorrow. I think I may even go a bit farther that the nearby neighborhood. We need a couple of things at the good grocery store downtown, so I may try and make the trek. We'll see how it goes. I'm still not confident, but I've got to get out there. I think it's good for Lucy too ... she seems to do much better when we leave the house every now and then.
Have a great week!

Love her eyes!!!
And I hear you on the guilt...but the girls got to eat! And I think that guilt is permentantly ingrained in moms no matter how old their kids get. Now why is that?
