Dominican Republic, part 1: the people

part 1: the people * part 2: the place * part 3: semana santa * part 4: the waterfalls * part 5: the beach Sorry it has taken so long to write about our trip! We really did have a wonderful time, truly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip. I’m so glad we got to go! We were in the Dominican Republic from March 28th until April 7th. I set up some posts to auto-post while we were gone, just in…

feeling better and upcoming posts

Well this new antibiotic is doing the trick – I feel 100 times better! Today (or rather, yesterday, since it’s after midnight now…) I woke up from a nap confused and disoriented. Just like old times!

Well, my 6 year blogging anniversary came and went on Saturday without me acknowledging it. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks now and I’m still in a bit of pain. I can’t stand to be touched. I can’t wear a seatbelt. I have no energy. Savannah once again refuses to nurse on the side with the clogged duct. I have trouble sleeping because I can’t get comfortable. I can’t seem to get any healthcare professionals to pay attention to me. They…
