Okay. So my tough week went like this:

was feeling overwhelmed with taking care of two kids...Kasia really has been a struggle lately. Everything is a battle with her from what she wears, to what she wants to do, to how much she's going to eat, to whether or not she'll take a shower or a bath (she prefers baths), etc. She's so defiant and is having a hard time listening/obeying. I feel like I've been super mean and grumpy with her because of this and it has made me feel sad.

got mastitis in both boobs. Booooo! totally drained me and was not fun. Think I got it because I've been stressed and fatigued.

My milk supply decreased (on my left side) and I got super depressed because I thought I wouldn't be able to breastfeed anymore. Long story short, I fought through it and have made it work. While my left side produces less (this happened with Kasia too), I still get a lot out of my right and so far it's working.


Headed off to California tomorrow morning to hang out with my family. I've got a little bit of anxiety thinking about traveling with a toddler and a newborn. Wish me luck!

Have a great trip, Kjell! I hope it's healing and relaxing to be home with your family. We'll miss you, but we'll be praying for you, Kasia and Ryu. We love you!
