We hired a night nurse -- Patricia -- to school us on better getting through the night with Mack. All of her tips were terrific and openly received (feed him slow so he doesn't spit up, wake him up if he falls asleep on the breast by changing him, top off with formula for longer rests, tight swaddle after he's changed and fed, etc.); most importantly however, Patricia gave us the opportunity to sleep though the friggin' night. To get 8 hours of sleep, holy crap, incredible! To do this right though, we had to ship Nate to Ron/Simma's. To complicate matters, Nate contracted pink eye. Desperate for our 8 hours, we took Nate to the doctor's in Tribeca and got the drops needed. (Funny note on that, we told Leisha this morning about Nate's pink eye and she said that the remedy she swears by either coconut water or breast milk). Anyway, those 8 hours were incredible, allowing us to be stronger the following day (and days??). We will see Patricia again on Wednesday...
