Feeling Sick + Parenting = NOT FUN!

I forgot to mention that Emry got her first cold the Friday before the Super Bowl and sadly, I think I gave it to her. I thought I was completely over the bug but I woke up from a nap yesterday feeling terribly achey. My left breast was also pretty sore. I decided to see how I felt this morning and ended up having a fever of 100.1 along with the same symptoms as yesterday. My lactation consultant was confident that I have mastitis which is an infection in the breast that can cause a fever and flu-like symptoms. Thankfully I'm on medication so I hope it kicks in soon. As many of you know, it's not fun feeling like crap while you have an infant completely dependent on you.
