Still Around

Amelia trying to find her toy balls

We're still around.  I've actually had a rough last couple of months.  Shortly after Evelyn was born I discovered we had thrush.  While trying to treat for that I got a plugged duct that resulted in a night with fever.  The next week I got the stomach flu.  The next week I got mastitis which I initially thought was the flu again so I didn't treat it as mastitis right away.  So of course the following week the mastitis came back.  I finally got myself on an antibiotic while hoping it didn't promote the thrush to return.  So far this week I'm feeling pretty good and the thrush hasn't returned.  Hopefully this is the end of my sicknesses because I seriously can't handle another week laying around in bed with a fever.

I also went to the chiropractor since my back was killing me from laying around so much.  Evelyn came with me and the next day I brought her back for her own appointment.  She has been a fussier baby and it had been getting worse as the weeks went by.  It was amazing how different she's been after her appointment.

She's been a much happier baby.  She used to not let me put her down without crying after 3 minutes.  Now she'll even coo and talk when I put her down and I can easily get half an hour before she cries.  She also used to cry for every car ride.  No matter how tired she was she would never sleep in the car seat.  Not only has she fallen asleep she has even been happy in the car.

So hopefully we are over these difficult times and moving on.  It definitely helps my spirit to have her happier and more content.
