*WARNING* – This may be TMI for some.

So I have not mentioned that for the last 3 weeks Tyler has had thrush (a yeast infection in his mouth) and I have had the same in my breast. Unfortunately, I sought help late and the help didn’t figure out what was going on right away. In the end, the Internet saved me. Basically, breastfeeding was becoming excruciating. When I was bawling on my couch while nursing Tyler at midnight on New Year’s Eve.. I knew I had to do something.

I found a lactation consultant’s web site which contained a treatment plan and we are going after it with a vengeance. What is the silver lining? I have about 30 pills of Motrin left over from my c-section…..that has REALLY helped me tolerate things. I am taking all the supplements, avoiding dairy and sugar, etc. Hopefully, it will work and I will feel better very soon. More than anything it is simply annoying.

We watched the extended version of Return of the King last night. Pretty good – some of the new scenes were cut a little wierd. It was nice to relax Sunday night before Chris returned to work (he was off last week for the holidays).

Had a nice Monday as Candice came over and brought some bubble tea – yum!! She hung out with us that afternoon – they day always zooms by when there is company. We had a fun time chatting…she was king enough to listen to all my Tyler chat. I do did not want to be one of those people that always talks about their kids – but when that is all your life consists of – there isn’t much else to talk about!
