Thanks to All

I just wanted to write a quick thank you. I heard from a bunch of you after I posted my list of ailments with words of encouragement and prayers. As of right now things seem to be going well with all of us. Aside from still not sleeping more than three hours at a time at night everything with me has cleared up pretty well. The infections/blocked ducts have resolved along with the high fevers. Thankfully I never had to use antibiotics which meant I did not put Miss Maggie at risk of thrush. Small victory for me, yeah! I should note that not using antibiotics was a personal choice and one I would not recommend for everyone. I caught the infection in the very early stages, thanks to my good friend Missy, and was able to fight it by sleeping, resting, nursing, drinking a ton of water, and more sleep/rest. With the passing of the infection my blood sugar has also stabilized. Life will never be the same but at least now I can function as Maggie's mommy and not as just a pair of milk bags. It is incredible to see the changes in her. Over the past five weeks she has developed so much. It is a miracle to watch her grow and develop a little personality. Our days are not just about eating, sleeping, and changing diapers. There are several periods during each day where we get to interact and "play" together. I am having so much fun getting to know our little girl!
