Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was More of the same. Taking care of Lizzie, taking Caleb to school. Although I did have some sort of episode Thursday night. I had uncontrollable chills and had to use to blankets I was soo cold one night. I woke up later and then I had to get up and get some water. I think I dehydrated myself is all. But I did get Caleb to school for friday and thenI went to mom's to stay near people. Eric had gone down to corsicana to help move some more stuff Thursday through Saturday. I worked on the blessing dress Friday and then I was not feeling so well so I stayed at Mom's that night. I worked on the dress all day Saturday too. I got most of it done except for some hand sowing. I did most of it Saturday night LATE, and then some during sunday school! But I did get it done on time for the blessing! It is soo cute! But I have not taken a picture of it yet. I was a little frazzled sunday trying to get to church on time.
Sunday was good though. Lizzie was more alert and awake this time. She has started to be passed around a little. And the blessing was so special! Most of my family was able to be there and participate! Mike, Dad, Ariel, Eric, George, and then the bishop, and Brother Williams (who is one of our good friends in the ward) were all in the circle. If John were there it would have been PERFECT!
The blessing was so special and spiritual. She was told a lot of things. One of the things I remember is she was blessed to be known for always having and sharing her charity! I hope she gets it from me which means I will have learned to have charity myself!
After church we all went to Becky's for a get together. She made lasagna, I brought a salad, and mom brought dessert and garlic bread. It was soo good. And then Becky's in-laws came with more good food! We played manners and then Catan. It was fun!
Today didn't feel like a holiday, it just felt like saturday. I didn't do a whole lot! I couldn't have done a whole lot if I wanted, Lizzie has had some sort of gas or something. She has been whiny, and acts hungry but then doesn't latch on or eat very much, she won't sleep and has to be held. And she acts hungry less then every hour. I feel so bad not feeding her until at least an hour, but I try to stall and make it every two. Everybody thinks she is hungry and I just don't think she is. I see how she eats when I do feed her and I am just not convinced. I think she wants to be nurtured and soothed is all. But she won't take a pacifier. I only have those clear silicone ones. I don't like those. Maybe it is too stiff for her to really like it. I need to go get some of the other ones and then some gas stuff. And her umbilical stump fell off today. I looked it up online to make sure it is okay to fall off this soon and still bleed a little. It is. It has been sooo long since Caleb I do not remember much of what happened to him and what is or is not okay.
Caleb is doing good. He still likes school. But he does not like when Lizzie cries. We were reading our nightly book and Eric brought in lizzie because she was hungry and crying. Caleb was like Daddy take lizzie out. Take her out till we are done reading our book! And his hand was waving her away. It was cute but eye opening. We still have to work with him so he accepts the crying better.

You are right to go with your instincts about her not being hungry. Many babies will act like their hungry when they have gas. you need to give your body AT LEAST one hour to make enough milk for the next feeding. Try giving her gas drops on a regular basis - not wait until she is uncomfortable. Gas drops are VERY safe and you can't really over dose a baby. I had to do that with Renae.
