Right?? This month sucks! We started out with that damn ear infection. It didn't go away with the first antibiotics, so we went back in and sure enough it was now in both ears. Apparently certain ear infections are too strong for ammoxicilan, so we got him on something else.
Once we finally got that under control, he got a virus. Which I then got a few days later, except it hit me 10 times harder (better me than him, don't get me wrong!). I didn't eat or drink anything but some jello and juice for three days, not including the english muffin and egg which came back up two hours later. Can you imagine how my supply is doing right now?
So I'm back on the fenugreek, and pumping while he gets a bottle at night, because by the end of the day I don't have enough for him. I know it will come back, because I can see exactly what caused this, but man I am so done with this crappy sick month.
Plus, April also means a visit from two amazing friends from afar!! I CANNOT WAIT! And a new baby soon after that. April will be a better month. It has to be.

Not teething after all.
Nope, poor kiddo has an ear infection again. It's been going on for over a week and we just now figured out what that was. You can go ahead and pass that Worst Mother of the Year award my way!
Seriously though, my kid is just so happy. He's almost... too happy. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him to change! But when something is wrong, he doesn't do a very good job of showing it. The first time he had an ear infection, he showed absolutely zero symptoms until he finally couldn't nurse because of the pain. This time, he nursed just fine, but refused solid foods. He did run a low temp off and on, but that plus the strike on solids and sometimes fussiness sounded just like teething.
Today, however, I decided enough was enough, seeing as I still wasn't seeing even a hint of anything in his mouth. Off to the doc we went, and it took two checks of the ears to find the puss (it was hiding behind some ear wax the first time).
One round of antibiotics later, and he downed 3ish oz of squash, 2ish oz of fruit, and had a mum mum for dessert. Yep, that's the baby I had been missing!
