Wanna hear my sad story?
I got very sick again this weekend. Saturday I spent the day alternating between fever and chills, feeling faint and nauseous if I even sat up, with every part of me aching. Anyway, long story short, I have an infection in the chest region. Know what I mean?? I don’t want to type it out in detail. If any of you nursing mothers have ever had this, HOLY COW! Not fun at all. For those of you who haven’t ever had it, I hope you never have to go through it!!
Besides the flu or whatever I had 2 weeks ago, I swear I have never felt so horribly. Twice in like 2 weeks!! Yikes. Luckily Jaden took good care of all of the kids and my mom and Jaden’s dad helped out a bit too. I’m on antibiotics and hopefully it’ll take care of things quickly. I’m feeling better than yesterday but not great. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. What an eventful recovery from childbirth, huh!
So that’s my story. Just thought I’d share. I’m going to attempt to sleep now.

You sad soul. I am feeling rotten for you. I hope you are better for your sake and your family’s sake and for the digital scrapbooking world’s sake. It seems everyone has had something lately. Both of my kids have had things this last week and even now. Not near as miserable as yours. Where is the mercy!? Get better soon!
Dang! I’m so sorry, Brooke!! I went through this same thing with my third! For me, I tried doing too much too early and got mastitis the first week – WOW. Then I got it again two weeks later!! It was one of the most painful experiences of my entire life!! Antibiotics should clear it up! I wish you a speedy recovery!! (Why do we moms always have to urge to do so much?
Ugh. I’m so sorry. I hope that you are feeling better. No fun!
I’m so sorry. I never had the “condition” but I hear it is not fun. I’d help but Brie is so sick herself.
That is aweful! I’ve heard a lot about it and hope that I NEVER get that! Mike and I have been sick the past couple of days with fevers…I didn’t realize how hard it is to take care of a baby while being sick! I wish I was close to family so I could drop Grayson off so I could get some sleep and try to recoup…that’s what we get for living so far away! I don’t know how you do it with 3! Get well Brookie!
Sorry you aren’t feelin’ well! Now that family and ward meals have slowed, I would like to help out, so I will be calling in the next few days to coordinate something. I think of you often and hope that things smooth out. Your little sugar is super sweet.
Oh, so sad. I have felt your pain! Yikes. I hope those antibiotics kick in soon. Hugs and kisses your way.
I am so sorry! I with that after you body went though something like growing a baby-it would give you a break! Wish I could be there this weekend. I hope you can make it! Hang in there.
Oh, Brooke I am so sorry. I have heard that darn mastitis is a dousy. I hope you feel better real soon. I wish I was closer to ya so I could help you out. I hope I don’t have this problem, NO FUN!!
Oh no! Poor you! I hope your meds start to work real soon and that you get relief and feel lots better. What an ordeal your post-partum recovery has been! Hang in there and get lots of rest.
So sorry to hear you aren’t feeling so great. Must be so tough especially with a new little one and other kids to take care of. Hang in there, hope you will be feeling better soon.
I feel so bad for you Brooke! You would think that after having a baby you should be exempt from ever having any other troubles! I hope you are feeling better! It will get easier, I promise!
holy cow!! You have had a rough one! I am so sorry! That is so fun, especially when you have a newborn and are getting no sleep – hang in there!
oh dear. that just plain sucks. i have learned the for women, life is definitely NOT fair. i’ll be thinking of ya and hoping you get better. . . reallll fast!
I feel so bad for you. I know what that feels like! I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! I hope I am too late to say get well soon.
Hey Brooke! I had a crazy moving week with no internet so I just read this post. I got the same thing with Jadyn and it is one of the sickest I have ever been (I don’t think that was a proper sentence) I feel for you that you had to go through that. If it makes ya feel any better, I was at my in-laws when I got it. I am glad you are feeling better now. The new Haylie pics are adorable!!!!
