The Empress calls once more, awake in the middle of the night. This has been happening every hour. She feeds, falls asleep, then stirs an hour later. Not really crying, but yelping for more. How can someone so little eat so much?
I get up, out of the bed. Everything hurts. I feel like I just had the fight of my life, like a football player would feel after getting tackled, hard, really hard. Change the diaper, bring the little Empress to her rocking throne, and feed her again.
Please stay asleep after this feeding. If I could only get a couple hours in a row of sleep, I might not go insane!
