Everything was starting to look up until Wednesday night when I noticed that I had a fever, so I went in to the ER and they admitted me for a uterus infection and a hematoma. Without getting into too many details, let's just say it was a very horrible and painful experience. I just got discharged yesterday and my mom flew into Naples this morning to help out as I heal (we need her here sooooooo much and love her so much for coming on such short notice!).

Just thought I'd give everyone an update and let you know why we haven't been in touch and might not be for a few more days. Parker and I are doing fine and he is even gaining weight again! We'll try and get some more pics up soon- miss and love all of you!

Sorry to hear that you have had a rough couple of days, it will get better. I did not have a c section but i def. agree that recovery is NOT fun.
Reiley had a REAL hard time with breastfeeding as well in the beginning. She would not latch on and got soo upset and frusterated. I continued to try to get her to nurse every 2 hours in a nice and quiet room with music. I was also pumping to try to get my milk to come in as soon as possible. I fed her the stuff I pumped in a dropper just to make sure she was getting something. I did not give a bottle because they are easier for them and a lot of times babies will not eat from the breast if they are given a bottle alot , I just didnt want to get stuck pumping all the time...personal opinion tho! Each time we tried to nurse if she latched on I would let her stay on as long as she wanted but once she came off I did not try again until the next feeding time. I didn't want to over do it, eventually she caught on. I also gave her a pacifier ( the green one in a lot of my pictures called soothie) the hospital said that one was the closest to the sucking they do on the breast.
I hope some of this helped, if you are having issues still call a lactation consultant. I talked to one from our hospital and she was a LOT of help! Good luck with it all, breast feeding is a lot of work in the beginning but it gets better. It is all worth it. =) let me know if u need anything
