Rough couple of days...

So came home from the hospital feeling great! Then Ryan and Mom got sick on Sunday. Luckily the kids were troopers. But that took the rest of my reserves. Found out Brayden lost too much weight and have been trying to get him eating more along with sunning him to help with the jaundice. Luckily Mom recovered quickly and was able to help out again on Monday. Nursing became excruciating. I knew I needed to feed Brayden and get him eating more, but every time it got more and more painful. It got to the point of me avoiding nursing, which wasn't good given Brayden's weight loss. I had no idea what was wrong. So Thursday morning mom hands me Brayden cause he needs to eat and it becomes obvious I can't feed him. So she takes him and starts feeding him a bottle. Ryan just looks at me and I start bawling (hormones much?). Long story short, Ryan demands I go to the doctor. (Me: The doctor? Oh, yeah that would probably be a good idea...) and I get an appointment. After he gives me a blessing. So I go to the appointment and turns out I had mastitis. Nice. Luckily they gave me something called a nipple shield, that helped right away and then the antibiotics too. I was pretty upset to learn that Brayden was still not up to birth weight and anxious for his upcoming check up to talk with my doctor about it. We would not have made it though this week with out mom's help! So today they're off again to take Mom back to the airport. I'm feeling much better, but sad to see my mom go. It's never long enough! And the good/exciting news, Brayden lost his belly button this morning! Can't believe he's that old already! The girlies

Wait, that's not Brayden!

Kaitlyn did her own hair and wanted a pic of it. Sorry it's so blurry!
