Why, after having 2 boys that were world champions at breastfeeding, am I having such a hard time with this little girl. First we started off with a bad latch, the was temporarily fixed, a couple days ago she went back to her old ways and I couldn't seem to fix it, and I started to become very sore and raw again, yesterday I developed this hard mass in my left breast, my breast just ached all the time and god forbid if you touch it, I thought I might pass out. I couldn't bare to have her nurse so I ended up just pumping from that side. After doing some reading, I realized that I had developed Mastitus! I Called the Dr. and explained my symptoms and she confirmed that that is probably what it was so she called me in a prescription and during the night it went away! How weird is that...Its still a little tender but nothing like yesterday, anyway thought i needed to share that with everyone.
Brian's mom and dad are here, and surprisingly it hasn't been all that bad. his dad still has the annoying habit of complaining about EVERYTHING, but i try to take deep breaths and focus on the positive things.
You know I love to talk about the weather, so I have to tell you that we got 5 inches of snow last night. Its the really wet sticky kind of snow, it sticks to every little branch and twig and it is so beautiful, its my favorite kind of snow!!!!! I just wish we got it 2 months ago and not when its almost APRIL!!! Anyway, I can't complain I did voluntarily move from the south back to the frozen tundra!
I have tons of pictures to up load on to the computer so as soon as I get that process done I will put some new ones on the blog!
Anyway i gotta run,

Yeah, so breastfeeding the third completely sucked (that was not supposed to be funny) for me, too. I had mastitis all of the time, and even...barf alert... bloody girls. That were in Henry's mouth. Super yuck. Hang in there, heat pack and massage those gals often.
