What an interesting time I’ve had lately…

A few posts back I thought I had a breast infection but- turned out to be a uterine infection, endometritis. I went to my obgyn last Wednesday and had a 99.7 fever, felt kindof rough, red cheeks, and a tender uterus so the obgyn recommended I go over to the hospital for IV antibiotics for 24-48 hours. Ugh… Brad had let me have the car that day so he was stuck at work. I had to wait until the hospital had a bed ready for me so I just hung out at Moms then they called and said I could come in until around 9:30pm then I’d have to go in through the ER. Some people that work with Brad took him out to dinner then drove him home that night. He got back then I started to get my things together and my aunt came to sit with the kids. Katie was already in bed and Ben was in his swing. We got up to the hospital just after 9pm, I think. Long story short- I was admitted Wednesday night but they didn’t start anything until the next day. I was hoping to come home Thursday night.. nope. Hopeful for Friday morning.. nope. Obgyn came in and said they wanted me to get the full 48 hours of IV antibiotics. I was pretty upset so Brad brought Ben to the hospital Friday to hang out for a bit but I still had one more night to wait. I was finally able to go home Saturday morning and Brad came to get me around 11AM! It was so nice to be home. I’ve just been trying to rest and recover. Still a bit sore but much better than I was, for sure. I think I ended up with this infection because I had the Group B infection and wasn’t able to get the IV antibiotics when I went into labor because it was so fast and then that may have set off the infection in there. At least that’s my guess. They wanted to make sure I didn’t have any placenta left over in there and the ultrasound looked fine. I just hope it’s over and won’t come back or anything.

That’s what I’ve been up to lately! Don’t really feel like typing anymore so enjoy your Monday!

The little tummy time pillow I ordered for Benjamin came today! It’s so cute! Type in Amazon: Baby Einstein Rhythm of The Reef Prop Pillow – to see it!

Took Katie to the dentist this afternoon for 2 little fillings and she did great! It did hurt her a little when they did the top. =( She is all fixed as far as dental work. Now… I need to get my one tooth fixed soon. I was supposed to Tuesday but had to cancel because of my boob infection.

I’m ready to relax! Brad will be off work tomorrow for Good Friday.

What else? So, my aunt watched Benjamin while I took Katie to the dentist today so I was thankful that she was able to do that for me.

I didn’t even realize I didn’t post yesterday… woops.

Loving the new show 13 Reasons Why on Netflix! Going to watch more as soon as Katie goes to bed.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Woops… lost my motivation for blogging for a few days!

Highlights-
– We had more storms move through but nothing too bad, thank goodness
– Katie is back to school after spring break and now the countdown until summer
– Thought Benjamin had thrush but nope! He’s all good but can be quite fussy and gassy
– I let my boobs go too long without pumping a few times and got a slight infection this weekend. =( Had a 101 fever, headache, severe body aches, lumpy breasts from the engorgement but I got plenty of rest and just kept pumping more often and my fever went away last night and I felt better today but still feel like I should take it easy and make sure to NOT let that happen again
– Brad took off today to take me for Benjamin’s appointment so it was nice to have him home
– Started taking prebiotics with my probiotics and that should help the balance in my gut (been battling gut imbalance for years)
– Watched the first episode of the new show First Dates last night and thought it was pretty funny haha
– I am thinking about starting the show I’ve heard a lot about on Netflix- 13 Reasons Why
– 2 goals for tonight: clean our ferret’s cage and wash my hair (it’s a mess lol)… got the cleaning done but still need to wash hair
– APRIL THE GIRAFFE NEEDS TO HAVE HER BABY

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

We’ve had some storms move through today and more to come within the next few hours.

I didn’t feel like posting yesterday, really.

Ben didn’t last quite as long last night with sleeping- and I was so tired so I would get up, feed him, and then lay back down- until I made Katie’s breakfast then I laid down for another nap. I finally feel pretty good this evening. Cooked some spaghetti for dinner. Brad came home and passed out on the bed. I actually had to wake Ben up for his dinner bottle! Now he’s alert and in his swing making all kinds of faces lol. Katie’s been pretty good for me this week for her spring break and I’ve been letting her watch different movies.

Have a good evening.

Today….
– The storms that passed through weren’t bad but the power went off for an hour, which was annoying because I was pumping with the electric pump so I had to get my hand pump
– I got to go back to sleep for about 2 1/2 hours after Benjamin’s morning bottle… woot
– Katie helped take out the trash
– Felt motivated enough to clean house a bit! Cleaned the kitchen counter tops, inside of the microwave, folded 2 loads of laundry, vacuumed the house, and so I felt accomplished

Just had my favorite pizza and tonight is…
time to watch Walking Dead season finale!!!

=)

Happy 2nd day of April! Don’t really feel like typing but in short- Brad decided to finally buy something he’s been wanting to for years… a gun for protection for all of us! We went out to buy the rest of our groceries yesterday afternoon then we came back home since I was starving and needed to pump so Brad and Katie headed to Adventure Outdoors where he bought the gun, so he’s happy!

Today hasn’t been eventful, except that I printed off some stuff for Mom then went over to give those to her and chat for a bit then came home to make copies of her birth certificate that she needed for some appointment.

We might have some severe storms moving in tomorrow morning… eek. Oh! And I gave Benjamin a both last night!!! =)

Welp, off to watch YouTube videos.
