Met with some discomfort

Well the weekend came upon us fast and our week was pretty darn good! The nanny was working out great and Hollis really seemed to enjoy her company and napped for her every day. On Friday we were concluding our weekend and she dropped the bomb on us that she had accepted a job offer in Paris to start in a month! Yikes! I know it is a great opportunity for her, but I couldn't help feeling a little defeated since I finally got to feel what some free "me time" felt like. The weekend was headed for more dis-ease when I awoke at 3 am on Friday night to discover a lump in my left breast the size of a ping-pong ball. I said to myself, "So this must be a clogged duct! No problem Hollis can just nurse it right out." Yeah! Right! Three hours later I was covered with 6 blankets, two heating pads and a hat on my head shivering with chills and a slight fever. Chris was worried because I could not get rid of the lump after much effort and the chills were not subsiding. Hollis thought is was play time every time we woke him to nurse and he was not even hungry! I nursed that boy for 6 months strait every two hours and now he is not hungry!!!!

We sluggishly got through the night and made it into the early morning hours of Saturday. The excruciating lump slowly started to work down and by Sunday evening the soreness had gone away. Hope I never have to experience this again. I actually at one point told myself I would rather be in labor!

We are on the search for another nanny, but in the mean time will enjoy my days with Hollis once again. (I am trying to get some pics up from the last few weeks)
