New School

Today is my boys' first day of preschool in Las Vegas. It was so hard for me to leave them in a new place with new people. I'm glad there wasn't any tears, well at least not from their side. My oldest was totally thrilled to be at 'school' and immediately went in and was saying 'wow, look at this!' He is such an outgoing little boy! J was a little bit more nervous and has been having a really difficult time saying goodbye to anyone, since Miss T was born. Especially when daddy leaves for work, J will run after him to get more hugs until I have to hold him. Thankfully, Miss T slept in her car seat during the whole drop-off procedure. And daddy made bacon, blueberry pancakes, and coconut whipped cream for the boys special breakfast. Mmmmm As J was finishing eating he began to put bacon in his sock! I guess the kid was trying to find a way to save it for later! HA

Also, Miss T is 4 weeks old today! Time is slipping by way too quickly. She slept 5 hours 3 times last week, but stopped this weekend. And on Sunday I woke up with a 100 degree fever and awful pain on my right breast-- yep, mastitis. I was achey and had chill all day but decided to wait and call the doctor on Monday to see how serious they thought it was. I had been trying lots of home remedies over the past few weeks: shower, pumping, massage, lavender essential oil, heat, ice packs, varying nursing positions- but nothing helped. The doctor's office fit me in yesterday afternoon, and good thing because the infection was beginning to spread, and I still had the 100 degree fever. So now I have to remember to take antibiotics every 6 hours! I can barely remember to take a daily vitamin. One good thing that came out of this is that -- the doctor went ahead and cleared me to start swimming! Wohoo - It is SO HOT in Vegas! Now to find a swimsuit... I'm thinking peplum tankini to hide my post baby belly. I love the one at Anthropologie, but it is on backorder till the end of July. I'm thinking I'll just go hit up Target :)
