From March 6, 2009

Things have been up and down since my last entry.  While Ike is now doing great, we have hit a few bumps in the road.  Breastfeeding became EXTREMELY difficult, and Ike wasn’t getting enough to eat.  We decided to start supplementing with formula.  His weight increased, but then we noticed a pimple-like blemish on his right nipple.  It turned out to be Mastitis.  Later, I found a lump on my inner thigh.  Both turned out to be staph infections, and we will both be finished with antibiotics in a few days.   Ike has enjoyed the bouncy seat and play gym immensely.  We can’t believe how much he’s changed in just a short while.
