Things just can't seem to turn around for me this week. After a rough start to the week I spent yesterday in the ER with a lot of bleeding and issues. I will spare you all the details as it was a disaster but after my trip to the ER it was determined my bleeding was not a major issue or causing too much loss of blood but I need to take some medication for a day to help my uterus recover and stop bleeding. The medication insert specifically says the drug transfers via breastmilk to the infant and can have negative side effects. After a lot of research and talking to several doctors I decided not to breastfeed for the time while I need the medication. While the risk is low that it will cause harm to Diego it's just not a risk I am willing to take. I hadn't started pumping and storing milk since I didn't plan on giving him a bottle this young. Luckily for me and Diego I have the most fabulous sister in law who is willing to share some milk with us for the day. Diego does great eating out of the bottle and isn't too particular about temperature either. So for 36 hours I will only be bottle feeding and giving myself a chance to recover while I take these drugs. I feel blessed to have Jeana and her willingness to share with us. I can't thank her enough.
Callie also got the chance to give Diego a bottle which has been special for her.
Callie had a great day besides my issues. Callie had a new doc mcstuffins outfit for school today and she was excited to go for once. Then we went with Jeana and Ford to lunch and with all the family for a "pizza party" at La Bella's. Callie just loves this place and it's even better when the whole family comes! Hopefully by tomorrow the heat is coming down, the wildfires are under control and Diego and I are recovering from our issues this week. Phew, it's been a rough few days.
