We haven't had any major breakthroughs on the new schedule. He's still taking about an ounce from the bottle at a time. He's seven weeks old now and just a week away from his due date, so maybe something will click in soon. He's pretty much waking up every four hours, so we have an actual schedule to work around after all.
 He's so much more alert and interested in things. He likes to see what's going on. I think that's part of the appeal of the swing, that he's sitting up and can watch all the action. He's very social and likes to look at people. Fortunately he's quite popular and gets plenty of attention from the nurses when we can't be there. I'm so ready for him to be home, though. It's harder the bigger he gets.
I'm not doing so great lately. There's a lot about this whole situation that really does suck monkey eggs, and it's hard to be a good sport about it all the time. And, of course, times of extreme stress do tend to throw one back to really shitty old patterns and coping mechanisms and...yeah, I'm not doing so great.
I'm dealing with it, though. It's taken me a bit too long to realize that I'm not exactly the picture of mental health, but I'm getting help, and without too much kicking and screaming. So that's something like growth and progress, anyway. Isaac needs a healthy mama.
