  • Because I don’t have anything better

    Due to a bout of mastitis and not much sleep, I am left with nothing more to share with you than photos. I’m getting better now, but I still can’t stand up for any longer than 2 minutes at a time. It’s day two on antibiotics so fingers crossed tomorrow is better.

    Because I have been accused of being ‘stingy’ with the photos.

    Breastfeeding: AKA: Drink or drown.

    I have an over-active let down. Every time my milk lets down, I end up trying to drown or bathe him in it. Poor kid.

    Asleep on the couch with Daddy. They were asleep in almost identical postitions, however Nathan would prefer I not post photos of his nipples on my blog.
