The second time around of nursing has not been fun! First I get mastitis and feel like I am going to die and now I have thrush! I couldn't figure out what was going on! I was getting so sore, red, bumpy, and I itched like crazy! Then my visiting teacher came over and we got to talking...she has a 4 month old and she always gets thrush. Good thing she told me about it because the next day is when I started feeling the pain! I couldn't see it in Tag's mouth until we got to the doctors office yesterday. We are both on medicine and I am feeling much better! I just wish that nursing didn't have to be so brutal! Here us mothers are trying to do the best thing for our babies and we have to worry about all these painful things happening to us! It just isn't fair! Okay...I am done complaining now!
On a better note, Josh is home from his work trip and I am so happy to have him back! While he was gone I got to watch my little niece, Becca. Her and Ty had fun until Ty did something to make her angry. After that she wanted nothing to do with Ty. I had Becca (11 mo) on one side of me, Tag nursing (6 wks), and Ty (20mo) on the other side of me. Can you say "GREAT BIRTH CONTROL" At one point all three were crying...it was almost comical!
We got these really cute pictures of Ty and Tag this morning! Aren't they just the cutest boys...I am a little biased! Tag weighed 10lbs 2oz when I took him to the doctor yesterday. He is getting so big and he is giving mom nice long bouts of sleep at night...it is WONDERFUL!!!

Yay! I'm so glad to find you too!! I love that the three of us have had baby's so close together. Your boys are so fun - I love Ty's BLOND hair - so cute! Your hair looks good too - more like what I remember it being like:) (It's been a long time!) I got mine cut and highlighted right before the baby came - it is refreshing! So glad to be in contact again!

I know! Nursing is a pain. It has been the hardest part of having a newborn for me also. I got mastitis as well, and I'm having some trouble making enough milk so we are supplementing too. Truthfully, I am just ready to go straight to bottles. Just two problems: 1. formula is so expensive, and 2. I can't help but to feel guilty!
Glad you are feeling better now! take care.
