Mastitis, Milestones, Missed Appointment, and Marriage...

Mastitis: Well I thought I was in clear since I've been exclusively breastfeeding Jackson for almost six weeks with no problems, but boy was I wrong! Saturday I started to notice there was something wrong so I tried massage, frequent nursing, etc but by Saturday night I was running fever and feeling terrible. Luckily, my sister-in-law and cousin were here and told me to call my doctor. So I got an antibiotic called in Saturday night and have been taking it for 2 days. I think I caught it early so its not the worst it could be, but still no fun. I'm still nursing but I am going to try to make the transition to bottle feeding him pumped milk this week.

Milestones: On a lighter note...we have been having so much fun watching Jackson grow! He will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and has gotten so big. Just the last few days he has started smiling all the time...on purpose! He is in such a good mood in the morning. He makes me forget about the lack sleep I have gotten. Also, he was started cooing and making all kinds of silly little noises. His hair is going through some sort of transition as well...He was born with a full head of hair but has lost almost all of it on top! Billy Ray Cyrus was on The Today Show the other day discussing the different types of mullets. He said when balding men sport a mullet its called a skullet. My sweet angel is rocking his skullet and looking so cute while he's doing it!





Missed Appointment: I was scheduled to see my doctor today for my 6 week check up after my C-section but I canceled this morning because I felt so bad. I've been anticipating this appointment to get the ok from my doctor to start working out. I'm so ready to be able to wear my jeans again! I'm rescheduled for Wednesday so hopefully he will tell me to get after it. Then there will be no more excuses and the battle of the bulge will begin! Anyone have any tips on how to get rid of the blubbery belly? I may need Jillian Michaels (i think thats her name) to come motivate me!

Marriage: Tomorrow is our 2 year anniversary! Since I haven't started Jackson on a bottle yet we will probably spend it at home but hopefully we will do something slightly romantic :) Here is a picture from our honeymoon in Mexico. We've been talking about taking a trip back sometime and I really hope that we can....SOON!
