A new beginning

Motherhood has been rough for me

Wow I can't believe that Owen will be 3 weeks on Friday, and have we had a tough 3 weeks. The first week we were taking him in for the first 3 days to the hospital to stay on top of his Jaundice levels. Well that all turned out ok. I was still healing through the 2nd week and I was just starting to get the hang of things and Tad goes to Seattle for work overnight leaving me home healing and taking care of our newborn son. I have had problems nursing because my nipples were inverted, and then my friend told me about a nipple shield. My cousin Amy had one and she came over and let me use it. Yes, I thought things were looking up. Well this past week my body decided to have a breast infection and yes Tad was in Seattle for 3 days while I am getting this infection. The highest my fever got was 104.4. I called the doctor and he put me on antibiotics to help get it all cleared up. It has been such a challenge going through all of this, but the Lord has blessed me with such great family and friends to support me and is there for me if I need anything.

Allie, I'm so sorry you have been having such a hard time. It makes me wish I lived close by so I could swing in and help you out. But the best I can do from a distance is keep you in my prayers. Just know what you, Owen and Tad are def in my prayers!!
