The Good? My wee Vanessa keeps on getting more beautiful and delicious each and every day. While I have been delinquent at posting for the last few weeks, I come by it honestly. See below for how "bad" it has been.
The Bad? I have been remiss at posting because of a double whammy mastitis attack. Yes, twice and in the same boob a few days apart. Hell hath no fury like a woman who has mastitis. Ask my husband. It feels like a combination of the flu, getting into a fight and being pelted in the chest and taking an overdose of sleeping medication. Oh - and I forgot to mention that you have to continue nursing and pumping to make sure that the pain does not escalate. How is that for chinese torture?
No Ugly? Yup, no ugly around here. While I considered categorizing the mastitis as "ugly", it really does not deserve that moniker. Even though I do not wish that type of pain on anyone, it is temporary and goes away, almost as fast as it makes its ugly entrance. Overall, these first weeks of babydom have been pretty groovy - so much so that I would do it again in a heartbeat.
