I'm not having great luck lately.

So some of you may have seen on FB that our washer broke the day after we came home from the hospital and started filling our house with melted plastic smelling smoke.. The repair man couldn't come until tomorrow.. so we've been without a washer almost a week with a newborn.. who spits up a LOT not to mention just the general mess of being post partum and leaking milk everywhere.

DH went back to work today.. and I came down with mastitis.. Polly warned me this might happen since my nipples were cracked open and suceptible to infection.. My right boob is KILLING me and i have a fever and a headache that I can't kick even with heavy duty motrin and chills. My ob called in a script for me.. so at least i have it and can hopefully start feeling better ASAP. I didn't have the energy to even flirt with my pharmacist boyfriend.

Luckily Eve is being a sweetheart.. she's pretty snuggly for once and Natalie has been pretty mellow too.. it would have been a really easy first day alone if it weren't for this..

DH was supposed to be done at 6pm today but of course he is still at work.. :(

    Yuck! I hope you feel better quick! I never had it, but heard horror stories from my old boss! Your babies must sense you don't feel well, it's great that Eve is being a good helper!

    I'm so sorry you are going through this! I had mastitis and know how horrible you must feel... I can tell you that after I started the antibiotic I felt better in less than 48 hrs. Hang in there!

    oh that really is bad luck.  Mastitis is not fun.  I had it once with each boy.  With Pierce I felt like crying and literally was a zombie except to nurse and go back to bed (when DH was home of course and for the few hours that it was actually possible).  I remember feeling like I couldn't survive the day and wishing more than ever that my mom lived closer :(

    Oh no! You poor thing :(

    I got mastitis the first day Nick went back to work after Paul was born. It was ROUGH. Charlie watched a lot of TV lol

    I hope your washer is fixed soon & you are feeling better

    I'm sorry some things are so crappy right now.  If you washer can't be fixed asap, could your MIL take a load to the laundry mat or her house for you?

    I hope today is a better day for you and you're feeling the relief from the medicine.  That sounds like an awful thing to go through, but I'm glad Eve has been such a great big sister.  ((HUGS))

    Oh Melissa you poor thing! I can't imagine! Could your Mom or DH's Mom come and help out for a day or so, just so you can get some rest? I have also been meaning to ask you how it went with Polly and if she was able to offer any suggestions that helped you.

    Hope you are feeling better soon!
