Perhaps that's overstating things a bit but I'm feeling pretty down these days. After my appointment with the lactation consultant I was full of hope that feeding would stop being painful...days later things were still hurting A LOT so I went to the doctor today and it ends up I've got a yeast infection on both my breasts. Yes, a yeast infection on top of mastitis...life doesn't get much better than that!

But enough of that.

On to positive things...we think that Molly may actually be smiling for things other than gas. She smiles when she hears Noel's voice and when we sing certain songs. She's also started to notice objects (other than the elephant and the quilt) and be able to track their movement. She's pretty into the flying bear mobile that is on the pack'n play that Noel's family got for us...it buys me enough time to get a drink or pee occasionally.

She is 8 lbs now so at least all my boob issues aren't affecting her growth...or perhaps she'd be 10-15 lbs already if things were different!

I'm so happy it's the weekend. I don't think anyone can really appreciate the weekend until they have a baby and are totally housebound until their partner is home for a few days to help out.
