Life's Hiccups

It seems as though I only post the positive things that happen in our lives. We are a normal family and do have the occasional "hiccup". I tend to be an optimist and really only like to find good in things. Well the reason I haven't posted in over a week is because I got Mastitis which is a breast infection from breastfeeding. There isn't anything positive about it so I'll just tell it as it is. On Monday, I had severe pain in my left breast and started feeling really cold. After a little over an hour, I started shivering uncontrollably so I called the doctor and they told me to come in right away. Fever, chills, achy body and a very sore/swollen breast = Mastitis. Luckily, Joe came home from work immediately and worked from home the next day because all I wanted to do was lay on the couch. I was miserable. I did still need to feed Mia (she can't catch the infection since she gave it to me) but besides feedings, she was with Daddy. I am almost 100% better, which is good because we are hosting a Christmas party tomorrow. I've realized that being a Mommy is all about decisions. Once Mia falls asleep for a nap should I... clean, shower, eat, do laundry, update my blog, return a call and then to only find that she wakes up before I made my decision!

Posts Coming Soon: Grandpa Jones' visit, more smiley Mia pictures and our family Christmas pictures.

(I should probably get our Christmas cards in the mail before updating again.)

HAPPY FRIDAY!
