Yeastie Beasties

Hey everyone
Again, a quiet house. Taylor and Emily are napping and Claire is in her Mimi's arms which frees me up for an update!
Claire had her well baby check-up yesterday and she is great except for "thrush" (yeast infection of the mouth) and a bit of an eye infection. The meds they prescribed her are already working and everything is clearing right up. As you can imagine, the yeast infection is shared with me (think nursing) and I had to see the midwife as well. So we're all on antibiotics (topical, oral, etc) to get better. It's been a miserable 48 hours of nursing for me, but as my sister said "you gotta nurse through the pain!" I am, and I'm glad it's not mastitis (I hear that's really bad too). We're on the mend. Praise the Lord that I had a fast recovery from the labor so I could deal with this next hurdle with the yeastie beasties. And Praise the Lord that George and Shirley were here for everything. They have basically been running the house while I nurse Claire and rest. I am so thankful for grandparents that are willing and able to help out. They have all been a Godsend to me during this time!
I'm sure we've been taking pictures- but I don't have any at the moment to put up. Sorry.
Pray for quick healing for both Claire and Mommy.
In Him,
Carrie

Congratulations! Well I'm a day late and a dollar short, but finally I'm catching up with the exciting news in your lives! The video is an outstanding production, Chris! Consider entering the Canon Film Festival?
I'm still waiting to buy my Mac. . .this production is another deal sealer for my decision!
What beautiful babies! My house is quite calm compared to yours now! Please hug yourselves from me and the kids! We love you and are thrilled for the arrival of baby Claire! Yahoo! Congrats to all! Alicia, Lexie and Michael
