And she laughs when she's getting changed. Yesterday she I saw her giggle in her sleep. She smiles in her sleep all the time, but yesterday she giggled -- it was a definite hehe.

How did I get such a happy smiley baby?

Probably because ever since I found out I was pregnant with her, I've been deliriously happy.

On the sugar front, my blood sugars levels have been a little high. Usually, I seem to hover in the 130-140 range post-prandial. It's a far cry from when I was pregnant and a far cry from the kind of control I had when I was pregnant. It's still reasonable control, but I guess it's hard because I don't have the time to do tons of exercise. I've been walking here and there and swimming lightly, but I'm still pretty wiped out and I'm definitely tied tightly to my daughter's nursing needs. I feel so frustrated by what I want to do and what I actually can do.

I'm thinking to force the issue by going to the gym again, but until I know what my pay situation is, I'm not going to do that. I'm worried that we're going to be short this next month or so and that would suck. I've got the pool, but night time is Genevieve's nursing time. I guess if we could get her on the bottle, we'd be all set because I could swim while Mike fed her, but we'll find out how the bottle thing went at Sherry's later today. (I'm at work.)

Yesterday, though, I was just amazing. Mike was running the vacuum and as long as it was on, it was OK, but he shut it off near where we were nursing and then started it up again, and G jumped out of her skin and cried her head off. Then the most amazing thing happened, I could comfort her and she went right back to nursing. And then Mike shut it off and on again, she cried and she let me comfort her. Again.

Being able to comfort another human being is the most powerful thing in the universe. Truly.
