UPDATE - my party was GREAT and I ended up feeling ok while I was there, but Riley didn't do well at all. I left at 6 and at 7:30 I got a text from DH saying she was screaming and he couldn't get her to take a bottle at all. In between samples, I'd text him back some suggestions. Bath. Walk outside. Swaddle... She finally just fell asleep on him and slept until I got home at 9:30. Never did take a bottle at all...
Tonight is my first party since having R, and I was looking so forward to it. But now, I really wish I didn't have it. My allergies are sucking big time right now so I look a mess and can't stop sneezing. And, R has been so cranky today, so I'm really worried how she's going to do tonight without me. She's been taking a bottle once a day but will only take a couple ounces. I hope she does ok! (And DH!)
