I would die to be going to the beach right now. Laying in the sun, relaxing, listening to the water... sounds like a dream. However I wonder if I'll ever be able to wear a swim suit again... maybe that's why my longing for swimming is so intense right now.
The swimming suits on Crew Cuts.com are so cute right now, I'm actually contemplating buying this one and saving it until she's two... sounds kind of crazy... but seriously they're that cute.

By the way, did you know at www.myjones.com you can customize your own soda pop bottle, picture, text and all. What a great party idea.

Side note, Monet slept from 11:00pm until 5:50am, I'm feeling oddly refreshed! What a baby!

Talked to a lactation specialist. She really helped. Feeling lots better. Nursing it out. Getting back to normal. Thanks for the advice.

HELP...

This is getting ridiculous. I was just starting to feel better and now I have that stupid mastitis. I got on an antibiotic last night but the Dr said it's going to make the baby colicky, so now I'm wondering if I should just put her on formula while I'm on the medication for a week.

...

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?

...

(you know what's funny, just two days ago I said to myself, "At least I haven't had any problems nursing, that's been the easiest part." I guess I kind of shot myself in the foot with that one).

...

I swear one of these days this blog wont be about every single ailment I have.

Well, I am alive. Something I wasn't so sure about the beginning of the week. But slowly, day by day I feel a little better. I'm better off than I was a week ago laying in that hospital bed. I just hope now the worst is behind me and I can start to feel like myself again... someday.

Here are a few pictures of our birthday (Chloe and I have the same birthday, May 24th) last Sunday. Chloe looks spunky and cute in her birthday dress, I on the other hand feel horrible and am wearing leggings and a sweater, ready to check into the hospital a few hours later. This is about the only picture of the two of us. (Don't let the smile fool you, I barely had the energy to lift her at this point.)

Monet had about three sleepovers at Nana's house, so everyone had plenty of time to hold her.

This picture was two day's ago. My parent's house is the only place I really dare to go. I'm still nauseous and sick so public outings are not in the near future.

Monet has just discovered her hands. It's the cutest thing. She's sucking on them and looking at them like they're the neatest thing in the whole world.
