Postpartum fun :)

Doesn't get much cuter than this!!! Both of our munchkins are doing great these days. It is hard to believe that we have been the Fisher Family of Four for over a week ~ time is flying! Luckily, Alli is absolutely enthralled with her baby brother and loves to play with him and give him kisses. She is so gentle and sweet with him. One of her favorite things to do is watch him eat and often asks us to wake him so he can eat. It is really quite cute :)

Here she was trying to make his first tummy time experinece more enjoyable by holding his hand. Seriously, this little girl is such a sweetheart!

Eli is still a pretty relaxed little guy who loves to sleep. I don't remember Alli sleeping this much but Garrett assures me that she did. It's amazing how much you forget! Like his big sister, he has a blocked tear duct causing a goopy right eye but he is still so cute :) It actually looks like he is winking a lot.

Overall, the recovery is going well. I confess that I don't remember much about my recovery with Alli other than I thought it was easy and so far, this recovery has been fairly easy as well. I haven't even needed my narcotics ~ Motrin has been sufficient. Until today that is. I started feeling a bit under the weather last night and by this morning, I was pretty miserable ~ in pain, achy and a fever. Sadly, I instantly knew what was wrong . . . mastitis. I had this when Alli was about 8 weeks old and thought it was likely I would get it with Eli but was shocked to have it happen so soon after his birth. Fortunately, my OB has prescribed antibiotics and I hope to be on the mend soon. I'm nervous because the antibiotics bothered Alli and caused her to boycott nursing but so far Eli seems to be fine and still eating great. Here's praying that this passes quickly and doesn't happen again!

We've been loving our family time with Garrett home and have even spent some time at the beach. I will try to post pictures of our recent adventures when I feel a bit better. Sadly, Garrett must return to work on Monday. It has been so great having him home with us during the day. We are so lucky to have him! He is such a wonderful husband and Daddy ~ we could not ask for better ~ he truly is the BEST!!!
