I am slowly going insane as Mini-Me has shortened her naptimes to two hours at the most, and introduced the new pattern of hiccuping for 45 minutes and occasionally projectile vomiting after each feeding. Sleep is getting worse, although I started experimenting with pumping milk yesterday so my husband can take over a feeding every day. (Pumping hurts - I have to see about getting some different sized parts for my pump when I run errands tomorrow.)

At one point this morning while she was fussing I thought to myself "I don't want her" and "I liked it better before she was born", then felt terribly guilty and burst into tears. Husband is wisely getting us all out of the house for a walk and lunch, even though it is rainy and gray out. I was so hoping that introducing pumping and bottle-feeding would help me to get more sleep, but with baby sleeping for shorter periods of time, even having Papa take over one feeding still only gives me about four hours off at best....
