ACCOMPLISHMENT THREE

If boobs make you uncomfortable, don't read this. Ha! I had what I thought was the start of possible mastitis on Thursday evening. My left breast was sore in one spot, there was redness that appeared to be spreading. But no fever, no flu like symptoms. Did some research, went looking for advice from trusted online sources. Even though I didn't feel a plugged duct, general consensus seemed to be that this was more likely my issue. By Friday morning, I could feel the pea sized knot deep in the breast tissue. Taking the online advice given, I dangle nursed Thursday evening. This entails laying baby on his back on the bed (or floor) and leaning over him on all fours so that the plug will shift by his suction and also with a little help from gravity. It felt awkward, it hurt my back. But it worked! If I'd gotten mastitis, it may well have been a struggle that I wouldn't have fought through at this late stage. I just don't know. The idea of fighting mastitis, going on antibiotics, potentially getting thrush from the antibiotics... it was overwhelming just to consider~ but no issue. We got through it and are still going strong!

ACCOMPLISHMENT FOUR

As I previously shared, I made my first pecan pie. And it was DELISH and everyone LOVED it!

And while this goal didn't start in time for the entire month of November, I have stuck with my Good Deed a Day plan. I'm blogging about it here but slacked on the blog over the holidays. But I will post daily in December about good deeds I do and I will purposefully do a good deed every day of the month!

So what accomplishments did you achieve in November? Now is your chance to brag... er, I mean, share!!
