what a week

Comment Published at 00:4200:422 comments2 comments9 Visits9 VisitsReport

Ok I've never blogged before and I don't even know if anyone will read it, but I have had a crazy week.  We went to Mt Barker on Saturday to see our friends Mark and Barb, we spent the day there it was freezing outside but they had a lovely warm fire going.  We got home about 10:30 that night I had to tell Daniel we will go home after this drink (his drink not mine) as he and Mark like a drink together.   So we got home and Tyler slept wonderfully for me but I couldn't sleep as I had a headache and panadol wasn't working. 

Then Sunday Mark and Barb came down to see what the wii is like cause they were thinking of getting one, Daniel said he felt sick, he thought it was a hangover ( they did drink quite alot) so we thought nothing of it.  Tyler was cranky all day and we had to fight with Jordan to get him off the wii he is obssessed so we don't let him play it very often.  we all went to bed and again I had a headache wich turned into a toothache as I have a wisdom tooth that needs to come out.  it then progressed to a fever which was extremely uncomforable, than about 11pm Daniel got up and began vomiting, and had the runs. we both slept in fits all night, and Tyler woke up quite frequently aswell.

Daniel was then sick all day Monday which he was supposed to work and has been sick ever since, I started with the bug on Tuesday, not as bad as Daniel but I still had it.  So Daniel has had 3 days off work and has to have another which is hard at the moment with all the bills and the trips we have to make.  Tyler has been cranky all week, and Jordan has thank god not gotten the bug (touch wood he doesn't)  then this morning I woke up with a blocked milk duct!!

I had no idea what to do but as usual Toosh helped me, she's my saviour, everytime I have had a problem she's there with the answers and advice,, if it wasn't for toosh I wouldn't still be breastfeeding.

So as you can imagine tempers and my emotions are running high in our house, (which is reasonably small) we are in each others way I can't take the kids to playgroup, neither of us feel strong enough to get too far away from the toilet.  Why when it happens does it all happen at once?

well for my first blog I did a lot of whinging lol. I can't wait for it all to be over and to be able to go for our weekend trip back home and spend our goddaughters 1st birthday with her. I also can't wait to see my mum and have a break from the kids. She loves them and will definately give me a break.  But in the meantime I'm hoping my boys don't get the bug, and that this blockage clears up cause it is really painful.  :)

Re: what a week

Get all the bugs out of the way at once I say.  that way, you don't have it going around and around in circles.  Hope everyone is getting over it now. 

For the blocked milk duct, you could try heat and cold packs.  Alternate them, it helps to get the milk moving again.  Also, i've been told after having a shower when breastfeeding, you should spend the last 30 seconds with your breasts under cold water.  I tell you what, certainly wakes me up and I'm ready for the next 3 feeds! lol.
