New Years and Mastitis

We had plans for weeks to go to a get together for New Years. Then New Years Eve I got sick! It started the night before with my left breast kind of hurting. I didn't really think anything of it I thought maybe I had a clogged duct. I tried to do everything recommended to unclog it but it just kept getting worse through out the night and I got no sleep. Then New Years eve morning I started getting chills and had extreme pain in my breast and red marks all over it. I googled everything and diagnosed myself with mastitis. I started taking amoxcicillan that I had left over from when I had step throat at the beginning of my pregnancy so I knew it was safe for him to still have breast milk. I was sink for 3 days until the antibiotic finally did it's job. I was so upset we didn't get to go to the party. I was really looking forward to getting out of the house. But Derrick was amazing through it and took such good care of the boys and me. My milk supply has went down to hardly nothing now and I have to try to get it back up. I had milk for days before this so I am hoping it won't take long. Anyway here is my little cutie in his New Years Tux...
