Mom is down for the count.

Lillie is enjoying camp this week. I thought she would have some fun days while I enjoyed some time with Noah and a few naps. Things certainly have not gone according to plan. On Monday I decided to clean Pandi's (Lillie's hampser) cage. Now I have done this several times but this time I was in a hurry so I took a few short cuts. To say the least I ended up getting bit. The tooth actually went completely through my finger and came out the other side. Pandi was then stuck and I had to pull her off of me and get the tooth out of my flesh. I was bleeding all over. I finally managed to get it to stop. Later that night I took a shower. I was shaving and saw blood. I thought I cut myself but here the wound had opened back up. I was bleeding all over myself and the shower and it would not stop. My finger was swollen and hot besides very sore. Dave had to get the first aid kit and bandage me all up.

The next day I began to feel really achy and tired. I started to feel like I had the flu. It turned out I had a fever of 102 and I never get fevers! Before I knew it my breast felt like it was on fire and was sore to the touch as if I had the worst sunburn imaginable. Today things continued to get worse so I finally spoke to the doctor and they said I had a breast infection. I now must take antibiotics 4x a day for the next 7 days. Tonight Noah would not feed and he kept crying. It is not easy to care for a little one with a fever and when in the past nursing has always been what soothed and now it is being rejected. Then to top things off of all days Dave had a 3 hour meeting at work so he was home super late leaving us to eat dinner at 7:30 compared to our normal 4:30. Dave finally got Noah down for bed and he has not nursed in hours. I tried pumping but nothing comes out and it hurts. I am hoping when Noah wakes he will not reject feeding and all will work out. I never had this with Lillie. My bras are all very tight and I think that was the problem. I bought nursing bras in October but it turned out they are way to big and now the store won't take them back. I can't buy more right now and was trying to make it work. To top everything off today I went to the dentist and I have a cavity. I have not had one of those in over 10 years!

Lillie has been enjoying summer camp. She gets to go swimming and play outside with the kids. I try and set play dates up and such but with no kids in the neighborhood its tough to really give her as much time with kids as she needs. She was so excited to see her friends and she is loving swimming.
