I have been running a high fever since Monday. It has really been rough. I am so blessed to have my mom here to take up the slack around the house. She cooks and makes the bottles and pretty much does everything. Meanwhile, I am on the couch shivering and sweating. The nurse called me back today and the doctor said my fever is due to my milk coming in, as soon as it dries up, I will get better. I think it came in on Monday, so it should dry up soon. The nurse said you should use cabbage leaves as compresses for fifteen minutes four times a day. The cabbage causes a chemical reaction that helps to dry you up. I will definitely give that a try. I did breastfeed in the hospital for the first two days, but I was unable to continue due to blisters that were there before Shayla arrived. So, I had to start bottle feeding.
Enough about me.............. Here are some sweet Shayla shots!!!!!!!!

Goodness that baby is pretty! She sure looks like Jon! (Okay, that sounds like I just called Jon pretty, but you know what I mean ;)). I can't wait to get there and see you guys! And I hope you feel better soon! I'd never heard of that being from milk coming in. Interesting to know. Keep me posted, chica. I have been worried about you and your fever. Love you!
