3 Weeks Old



Little Samothy is 3 weeks old today. (Don't worry, his real name isn't Samothy, that's just his latest pet name around our house).



Selena took amazing pictures of Sam while she was here over Thanksgiving!!! I can't believe I only saw her 2 times while she was here. I miss seeing her on a regular basis so much. She is my love.


This past week has been kind of rough. I have been dealing with mastitis, but was doing much better until this weekend. My fever decided to get pretty high on Friday, just in time to miss Rich and Treslee's wedding festivities. Why do things like this always happen on the weekend? My symptoms got out of hand on Saturday night, so I went to urgent care. The doctor there must have graduated at the bottom of his class, because when I described my condition to him, he asked, "Is there any discharge coming from your breasts?" and I said, "Just milk..." and he replied with, "Wait, you're nursing?" YES!!! Hence the MASTITIS!!!!! Whatev. At least he prescribed me drugs and now I'm feeling much better.


One last thing...you know how it's always funny when people get startled by a sudden noise? Sam let out a huge diarrhea fart this morning during his 5 a.m. feeding. It was so loud and so powerful that Devin jumped in his sleep and said "AHHHH!" I laughed pretty hard for a good while.

I'm so sad you had to deal with mastitis. I never had it so bad I had to get prescriptions. I'm sorry! Poor girl.

We will come visit soon... I just want MJ to be totally better. I love those pictures. Too cute. I want to see all the ones Selena took.

he is so cute. I'm so sorry you missed all the wedding stuff and that you've had to deal with infections. I'm glad your getting better though.

Ok, you MUST send me those photos for the slideshow.

I swear some doctors don't take simple medical terminology classes anymore. You should see the look I get when I tell them about John's PDD-NOS.

Bring a medical dictionary with you next time, just in case you need to self diagnose...AGAIN.
