Where I Talk More about my Breasts

[ste_noni]

Before Ellie, my breasts were never a subject of conversation. They were small and never in the way. My how things have changed...

For the last 4 nights, Ellie has been sleeping 4-5 hours at night. I've been nursing before bed, once in the night, and right away when I get up. It's been wonderful.

But now I'm afraid it may have contributed to a breast infection. Part of the big breast that she likes so much was very tender yesterday. I thought it may have been from pumping because I pumped before I went to the dentist yesterday afternoon. Then last night, I started feeling sort of bad. I was feeling exhausted (even though I've been sleeping), achy, freezing, eyes burning, bad headache, and so on. And I had a fever, which I never have. Thankfully, my mom took Ellie for me and just woke me up to feed her.

This morning, the fever is mostly gone, but I still feel tired and achy. And one portion of my sore breast is now rather red. My LLL book says apply heat, relax, and nurse. I'm so glad I have nothing I have to do today. I have my bar review books next to me on one side, Ellie on the other, and I plan on alternating between the two most of the day.
