Uphill

After a week that wasn't too pretty, I'm feeling much better and have avoided taking antibiotics for this infection. However, I've done a lot of pill popping, sleeping, nursing, hot showers, pumping, cold and hot compresses, liquid consumption, shivering, and sweating! And now it's a beautiful 80+ degrees outside this weekend so the sweating continues :-)

My friend said it perfectly the other day - having mastitis a week after having a baby is totally complicated. You have so much to do to just take care of yourself yet somewhere in there you also have to REST. It is complicated, especially when you feel responsible for taking care of your other children and things at your house. We used help each day this week - family is invaluable. Anyways, we agreed that the upside to this problem is that our milk supply is the bomb, it just needs to even out.

Here is what I have to show for almost 2 weeks in~
