okaaaay, so I'm hormonal!

It was a day for tears today - had a bit of a weepy afternoon. I think the grey skies are getting to me. Plus I went back to the breastfeeding clinic at St Joe's Hospital with the boys this morning to try and correct their latch to see if that was what was making my right nipple so sore during feeding and...turns out I may very well have thrush on the nipples and thats what's causing all the pain. So. I have to put gentian violet on my boobs for three or four days, which basically will stain me and the boys blue! Not looking forward to the mess, but apparently it should clear things u p pretty quickly, and stops the pain within 24 hours. That would be good.

I think all the worry about breastfeeding the guys as well as the pain factor just exhausted me today, hence the tears. But I figured it was better to have a little cry than to sit there and hold it in. I hate crying though, I know I'm one of those ugly cryers - I do the whole face crumpling thing and the snotty nose...the works. Plus I was crying as I was feeding the little ones, so everytime they cried, it set me off even more since I felt like I was upsetting them. Sigh.

I know I'm doing a good job being mummy, I know Rome wasn't built in a day, I know they're healthy and happy and things could seriously be a lot worse. Oh, and now I have to go because someone is yelling upstairs and it sounds like a "FEED ME!" cry. Better go! Hopefully a more cheerful blog tomorrow or later in the week. And I will TRY to sort out the photos! Because you should see how cute these bubs are these days!!
