Cluster Feeding SUCKS
I knew it was coming and I remember how hard it was the last time but man remembering and experiencing is two different things. Molly decided to feed every hour on the hour today. No joke. It takes about 30-40 minutes to feed/change her and then I had 20 whole minutes to myself before it started all again. Needless to say I'm drained (physically and mentally) and feeling pretty crappy right now. Luckily she seems to have slowed down a bit. It's been 2 hours since her last feed. Mom has been holding her so that I can relax and have a cup of tea. I really, really can't wait until she gets back on a 3 hour schedule. That seems like such a luxury to me now.
Because of the hourly schedule today I didn't make it to the grocery store. Our neighbour Melinda was nice enough to take mom for me and then mom spent the day cooking up a storm (no wonder she's Gramma Cookie). She's determined to fill our freezer so that we never have to cook again.
I think the ever-hungry Molly is waking up...the feedbag is back in action.

Hey Dana,
Based on my limited knowledge of babies (a bunch of them arrived into the gang Cindy and I hang out with this year) I've heard 'war' stories. The babies are all 3- 5 month in age at this point - and they are all developing individual personalities (beyond being feeding machines) something to look forward to :-)
