Lord give me strength…
Ok so I may be acting a bit dramatic (I know I’m a wus) but Joe just broke the news that he is going to have to go on a business trip next week to Philly. In addition to that he’ll need to go to California in the next few weeks. I didn’t realize this day was going to come along so quickly and frankly, I’m not mentally prepared.
I am not looking forward to temporarily losing my ‘relief’ at night, my husband to sleep beside and make me feel safe and just the company of another adult. This may be the end of my battle with breastfeeding and round the clock pumping quest. To be continued…

The fun just doesn’t stop!
Here’s a short list of what I’ve been dealing with over the past 5 1/2 weeks:
-Cracked/bleeding and blistered nipples
-Multiple blockages requiring painful therapy
-Milk supply issues that require me to take 20+ pills daily
-Soy/milk intolerance that has restricted my diet to water and sawdust
-Pump issues that have caused chafing and further trauma to my breasts
-Tongue tie diagnosis and surgery
-Bottle preference and refusal to latch
…and our newest ball of fun: Thrush! Charlie and I both have it. Its causing my nipples to itch and basically feel like they are ready to spontaneously combust at any moment. When they aren’t itching and aching I’m getting shooting pains, woohoo! Throw in a few sleepless nights and a colicky baby reacting from something I ate (God knows I’m afraid to eat anything beyond oatmeal right now) and we’re having buckets of fun. Gotta run, the baby is crying….
