Weekly Wins: sick boobies

I'll explain the title in a sec, don't worry :)
Happy Friday the 13th, loves! I can't believe it's already mid-October and Halloween is right around the corner....craziness!

This week has been a bit of a doozy for us. Ella came down with a cold from daycare (again), and on Tuesday afternoon I noticed a couple of lumps from clogged ducts after pumping at work. I spent 2 hours trying any and every trick under the sun to get it out because I've had mastitis once and NEVER want it again. It was still there. 

Tuesday night also brought Ella puking all over me for the first time. So I've been inducted into that club now. Between a full, painful boob, worrying about my sick baby, and feeling like my throat was getting scratchy, I didn't have the best night of sleep, so we stayed home on Wednesday together. This was basically me:

I made it to the OB in the afternoon and she basically told me I had a clog and if it didn't get unclogged, I'd get mastitis. Well, thank you Captain Obvious!

Despite allllllll of that, there have still been some wins for the week, thank goodness!! It's always good to focus on the positives instead of the negatives which is why I started writing these weekly win posts back in June. Here are some this week:

~Ella seems to be feeling better, and even when she's sick, she still offers up lots of smiles. 

~Even though I had to take a day off of work, it gave me a full day of time with my Ella, which is something I miss. We also spent the day in true lazy, sick-day form with jammies, cuddles and trashy tv.

~Lecithin. Say what? Lecithin is a vitamin that apparently thins your milk when breastfeeding, helping to unclog ducts. They are also the size of a horse tranquilizer and you have to take FOUR of them every day (gag), but within the first night of using them, my boob hurt less and I think I'm on the mend (please, baby Jesus!!). So yeah, Lecithin is on my win list for sure this week!

~Date night tomorrow night! My friend is coming to watch Ella while MG and I enjoy a night out just the two of us! Happy to get some just us time together :)

~I got these skinny jeans, and a cute top at Lucky this weekend for $45 total! #score

the shirt is SO soft and it's this pretty light lavender color

~These flowers that my SIL brought to Ella's baptism. They remind me of a sunset and just make me smile

~I discovered the best eye shadow primer, and SUPER cheap (I used to be an Urban Decay girl, but not once they switched to that dumb wand). Milani on Amazon, less than $6! It works even better than the UD one. Go get you some!

~The Imagine Dragons CD is giving me life the last couple of weeks! Been streaming it on Amazon Prime Music when driving and loving it!
