cat:

our lil baby Joseph is now 3 weeks old... can't believe 3 weeks have already flown by. recovery was going well... so i thought but then this past Friday i got hit hard with mastitis!!! yeah, i may have had mild cases with CJ but this time it has been really bad... chills: these chills SUCKED!!! my fingertips would literally turn white and my fingers numb. i would be wearing a long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, pants, and socks lying under a sheet and blanket and STILL i would be FREEZING!!! my whole body hurt from the shivering. fever: i think the highest i hit was 103.something... headaches: still have these... my head hurts off and on! tender breast: lets just say - OUCH!
knee pain: not sure how this is related but i am just clumping it in all together cuz it's all happening at the same time. my right knee hurts to bend and straighten, it hurts to stand up from a sitting position when putting weight on it. yup... my body is just shutting down on me. :( boo hoo... i must be getting old.

chills and fever are gone! thank goodness! :)

i've been really fortunate and lucky that this came during the weekend cuz henry was home and while my mom is here visiting!!! i don't know what i would have done it i had to do it on my own or just with henry. having the extra pair of hands really helped.

as for joseph he's doing well. he's feeding well and getting bigger with each passing day. i feel kind of bad cuz we don't take as many pictures as we did with CJ. hopefully once i am feeling better and fully recovered i can be better about it.

so being a mother of two... so far i have had help... if it isn't henry, it's my mom, or henry's parents, or another family member... oh man, what am i going to do when it's just ME!!! for those other moms our there with multiple kids... any advice will be helpful! :)

goodnight.

Congratulations on Joseph! I hope the mastitis clears soon. No advice but lots of well wishes :)

Oh, and from a mom who has loads of guilt over not taking enough pictures... it was said to me that our children are the most documented children in the history of mankind. So no matter how "few" pictures you've taken of your second-born, it's still record-breaking, historically speaking.

Wow congrats on Joseph! I like that name! My heart goes out to you for getting mastitis the second time around but hang in there. Good to hear that baby is doing well and that you have a great support system around you :) What a blessing to have two sons!
