This year my birthday fell on Memorial Day so Jake was home from work. :-) My parents flew in around noon from NYC. I spent most of the day napping - I was soooo tired. I thought that coming off my pain meds was making me feel awful and partly that was true. But that evening when my meds were out of my system and I went to feed the girls I felt the WORST pain in my right breast I have ever felt. It was like shooting fire. I could barely let the poor baby latch on before having to pull her off. Between more meds, ice, and lots of time we finally got through ONE feeding. YIKES! The next morning first thing I went into the OB and got an antibiotic for Mastitis. It took a full 10 days of the treatment before my boob didn't hurt anymore. :'(
Besides the Mastitis, withdrawals being up all night with the girls, napping all day... my birthday wasn't too bad. Jake and I went to Target for a few min to get out of the house. I was planning on going to a movie but realized I would fall asleep during it. When we got home my mom had made me country fried chicken with mashed potatoes. Yum! Then for dessert we had homemade asphalt pie (from Wingers: Oreo crust, mint chocolate chip ice cream, caramel, hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry!) And since we didn't have candles we just used a lighter! Scarlett saw the birthday crown sitting next to me so she put it on my head and said "mommy princess."
It was a nice evening to a physically draining day. Later that week when I was feeling better my mom bought me a birthday cake and they dubbed it as my redo birthday. :-)

I LOVE asphalt pie from Wingers. One of my favorites--what a great treat!
Hearing about mastitis is like when a guy sees another guy get kicked in the crotch--it makes me double over just thinking about it! You're a rockstar!!!
Asphalt pie - delicious!!
Mastitis is the worst - hopefully it doesn't come back!
Did the mastitis thing a couple of times; never did have pain meds. It hurts like heck. Always thought it was awfully unfair to have cramping from nursing and then have mastitis on top of it. But my babies and I got through it, but I feel the pain you were in. OUCH!
