MasTITis, not near as fun as it sounds!

Saturday-11.2.2013

Mastitis is an infection. What does it infect? Well the very body part is in its name, your tits. Nursing moms be warned! I've nursed 3 children and this is the first time I got this infection but come to find out its a very common boob bug. I hadn't even heard of it till my mom told me to google it. This being after I'm screaming "My boob is falling off, my boob is falling off!"

Here's another one of those things they never warned you about when you're at the hospital. The conversation can't be that hard to have with every nursing mom, something like "Oh and if you ever feel like someone is dragging a red hot dagger through your boob, yea that's mastitis and you need to come in right away!" Seriously part of your stay at the the hospital should include an 8 hour course on things that could and will happen to your body in the next year. Then another 8 hour course on how to take care of the baby, with a pass or fail test!

To say the least it's painful. I woke up one morning in my normal delirious state of conscienceness, went to nurse my daughter and was suddenly zapped out of lala land with sharp pains burning through my boob. I tore my boob out of her mouth and gasped in pain... then yelled for my mommy. Seven hours later at the ER I find out my mom was right and I'm sent home with pain killers and antibiotics.

So here's what I learned about this infection, other than I never want it again! Mastitis is just a fancy word for when the tissue in your boob becomes painfully inflamed. Apparently this infection isn't terribly fond of the twins because it usually only affects one boob at a time. Your boob might be red, sore, hard to the touch, or unusually warm. Signs of an infection include chills, a fever of 101 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and fatigue, as if being a nursing mom doesn't drain you enough.

Ok so now your asking how do I avoid this terrible boob bug? Well for starters try not to be stress out or fatigued. Right, cause that's easy! Mastitis can be caused by a clogged milk duct or cracked nipples. There is a bunch of research out there but really I don't know how I got it. All I know is you have to nurse through the pain to keep the boob empty and it hurts! Now you know what it is and knowing is half the battle!

Friday's Fave #38 & 5MF: Grace

Friday - 11.1.2013

This week was interrupted by my sudden rush to the ER Tuesday when I thought my boob was going to fall off. Yes that's right, my boob was infected with mastitis. Be on the watch tomorrow for a post all about that and what to watch for, well if your breastfeeding that is. So anyway that kinda knocked me on my butt for most the week. But managed to get up and bring the kids to Chuck E Cheese last night for some family fun.

I'm keeping it short today! Don't forget to enter to win a trip to Vegas!

So here's all my self promo crap in a nutshell:
How I make an income online ===> Empower Network
Stuff I'm promoting ====> giveaway s and blogger opps
News feeds ====> Just my Blog, Giveaway and/or Blogger Opps
Blog hop ===> Tuesday's Tea Party or sign-up to co-host!

There you have it, let's move on!

I linked up with Lisa-Jo Barker for 5 Minute Friday. For this one she gives you a topic and you have to write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. So this weeks topic is...

Grace...

It's not a word I use very often, so I looked up the exact definition and there are 3 meanings but the one I'm going with is God's grace. It's an unmerited favor that inspires us to be what we need to be. It something that I forget to ask for when I ask God for help. So I ask for God's grace...

in being a better mother, wife and friend.

in being kind to others.

in giving of myself for the better of other.

in organizing my time.

in asking other for help or putting my pride aside.

in being a better listener.

in helping other.

in relaxing, stop being so uptight about life being perfect and just enjoy living.

TALKING TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE SCARY THINGS

By The Mother Company

As many of you know I have made it my mission to become a better mom and today I found a great article, well blog for that fact, that really gets to the point of positive parenting. I will be coming back to this site often. It's funny because I really have the desire to change my parenting methods, but it's dawned on me that maybe I don't have the know how. I think this blog is a good place to sharpen my parenting tools.
