I had it easy when I was just tired!
Things have not been going very smoothly since my “tired” post to say the least! Germs are all around us but the worst thing is that Jillian lost weight when I had her at the Dr on Friday because she isn’t eating enough. She was barely 7 lbs exactly (and on one scale there she was 6 lbs 13oz) and on the 28th she was 7 lbs 4 oz. Between her not wanting to eat and me getting sick and dehydrated, my milk supply quickly diminished by Friday and I had to go get a pump from the hospital. I got extremely upset thinking that I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed her but I am slowly gaining some hope now that I’m pumping every few hours. I won’t go into all the details but I’m basically a huge mess and I really hope I get my milk supply back to normal by next weekend. Things were very tough this weekend and thats with John home basically doing everything around the house and with the other 3 kids while I hid in the bedroom trying to feed Jillian. I am not looking forward to him going to work the next 5 days. Ethan is sick and he seems to have viral pink eye that is at its worst tonight. He wokeup wit hit Friday and been on drops since then so if it was bacterial it should not be getting worse. Jamie is having gross d-word diapers but no more throwing up after Thursday. Luckily Ben seems to be recovered for now. I am sure the pink eye will spread though, John seems to have it and for the last hour my right eye has been itching. I’d like to order an easy and healthy week for next week!

Oh NO! Sending many, many good vibes your way especially for the nursing thing. Because really, the last thing you need after birthing a baby is more reasons for your emotions to go ballistic.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for all of you!
