So this weekend was interesting... We got to CS on Friday, and everything was just peachy. On Saturday morning, John went hunting and Kayden, Kylee and I woke up pretty early at Meme's house. So, Kayden started throwing up around 8 in the morning, but she didn't have a fever, and after freaking-out a little, she acted fine. We then took her to McDonald's, and we were going to swing by Party Time Rental to check out the chair covers that I want for the wedding.
Exhibit 1 - Tearing-up McDonald's
We were headed to Party Time, and Kayden lost what little sausage she ate :-( Other than being freaked-out again and grossed-out, she was fine. She didn't have a fever, and Kylee was smiling through the whole ordeal. I took her car seat completely apart and hosed it down, and I took Lynda's car and cleaned it out. Kayden ended up falling asleep that night at her Aunt Shell's house at about 5:30 (so we hear), and waking up at 3 A.M. crying to come back to Meme's.
As for John and me... we went to dinner and drank a couple of margaritas. We were celebrating 5 years of being together, and we really needed just to have a date night to ourselves. With no relatives in our area, it's really hard to catch a break. We always have a good time by ourselves, but really don't get too many opportunities to just talk... it was nice to say the least.
Before we left for dinner, my pump broke. Those that breastfeed can empathize with how big of a disaster this could have been. I was on the floor milking myself into a bottle for about 45 minutes right before we left hahaha... The only dangerous thing about that (other than the fact that I have a weapon, should John say anything that I don't like lol) is that when you literally milk yourself, there is the potential to damage breast tissue. From my stint in the hospital, I learned that when you do that, you can actually cause mastitis. Long story short, we stopped by Wal-mart to get a hand pump to hold me over until I could call Medela and see what they would do for me. I ended up buying another pump yesterday, called Medela today, and they are going to send me an unopened pump to take back to the store to get reimbursed. Whew... they really are expensive, but worth every penny. It's just nice to not have to pay for it twice!
Here is a picture of us before we went to dinner...
