Fresh air, a car ride and a trip to Wal-Mart!

After a long 10 days, we FINALLY got out! I had a make-up delivery so we ate dinner, loaded up the minivan and headed to Arlington to Ashley's house! Then, we came back to Grand Prairie and went to Wal-Mart to get a few necessities and visit the holiday section to see what ornaments we wanted to put on the tree we want to get!

Jillian loved the trip. She slept some, and then at Wal-Mart, coughed one time and wanted Mommy to hold her. I held her facing outward so she could see what all was going on and she loved it. At one point, I looked down and she was smiling. Then, when it was time go to home, she wiggled her way to lay down in my arms and dozed off. I promised her we'd be home by 9:00 (her bedtime) and sure enough, we turned off the van in front of the house at 9:00 exact!

She had her BT and went down with no problems at all. Sleeping soundly.

I have to ask for you to keep us in your prayers. As most of you know, she has battled Thrush (a yeast infection of the mouth that looks like milk residue on her tongue and inside her jaws and lips) and it's finally making its exit. However, it has passed on to me and I'm in extreme pain when she nurses. So much so that it makes me rethink if I'll continue to nurse if it doesn't go away soon. I want to nurse her as long as possible, but the pain is far more than I bargained for.

I don't usually get that personal via my blogs, but I need prayer and I need relief quickly. Please pray that the Lord stops this and that my body heals quickly. It's hard for it to heal when she eats every 2-3 hours...8 or more times a day (depending on if she hits a growth spurt).

Thanks for your prayers...

P.S. - Have I told you lately that I love my girls? My heart melts....
