This weekend I was "blessed" with another round of plugged ducts. On Saturday I dealt with a painful lump on the right breast and got rid of it by Sunday morning, only to find another tender spot on the left. Since it was the weekend, Joe took care of Rebekah while I rested. I slept on the couch downstairs for 2 nights, following my midwife's and lactation consultant's orders of drinking a glass of liquid an hour and pumping often...about every 2 hours.
We still managed to go to church Sunday morning and discovered Rebekah's birth was announced in the bulletin! Another blessing from this almost 5-week-old baby was her first true smile on Sunday afternoon! I had seen some of the precursors when she was asleep, but she was fully awake for this one!
