What a difference a day makes
It amazes me how much Eva changes from day to day. Physically, temperamentally... everything. Yesterday at this time, I was sobbing and asking myself if I was going to be cradling an 18-year-old to sleep, because it seemed like there would be no end to Eva's need to be in contact with us while she slept. The longest she'd ever stayed in her bassinet until today was 30 minutes, and most of that was spent alternating crying and soothing with a few minutes of peace.
Today, we just got her up from a 2 hour and 45 minute nap in her bassinet and she was happy and rested. Brad's changing her diaper now while I quickly type this out (and I haven't heard any screams yet, which is also new). I have to capture the small victories and the big victories -- and this is a big victory -- so I can come back to them during those times when it seems like it will never get easier.
Brad is standing there next to me with her right now saying to Eva, "you're having a good day and giving us hope for the future."
Now I have to go feed my daughter and try not to give myself too high of expectations for tomorrow.

One hour at a time.
Beware of Brad changing his hair style. Coworker did that within a short while of his firstborn. It's all back to normal now.
Also, soundtrackish stuff.
