And Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

Motherhood...helping you find yet another creative use for a boo boo bear.

It's Monday, dear readers, and I have to tell you that I am thrilled to be back with you in the wild world of the interwebs.  Late last week I got a nasty case of Mastitis, which is why you had to make your weekend plans without my helpful suggestions (a real hardship, I'm sure).  For those of you not in the know, Mastitis is an infection in the breast tissue that can happen when you're breast feeding.  It came on really suddenly - I arrived home from a day at the park with Noah and all of the sudden I had a migraine and then chills and then a fever of 102 degrees - and I was down for the count. I basically spent most of the weekend in bed with frozen cabbage leaves on my boob. Thankfully, the antibiotic my Doctor prescribed finally kicked in on Saturday evening, so I am once again feeling like my old self and in search of child-friendly activities to fill the hours. I'm so grateful to our families and our wonderful nanny who picked up the childcare slack while I was sleeping.  I honestly don't know how I would've managed, considering I was too dizzy to lift the Muffin Man.  I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually looking forward to resuming my busy and demanding schedule of peekaboo and play dates; after the last few days, even singing Baby Beluga 15 times in a row sounds appealing.
