Labor Day

What a weekend! We left for Walker, MN-our first big trip and it went perfectly! We stopped 1 time to feed Owen and Chase, but other than that they slept the entire way there and home! We only had 1 really bad night-the worst we've ever had actually. Both Chase and Owen were doing the "death scream". For Chase to be crying like that we knew something was really wrong. After doing some research online, we figured out it had to have been the pineapple juice I had in a slushy earlier that day. FYI to nursing moms-don't ever eat pineapple juice. It hurt their little tummies so badly. It was a bad couple hours. We went on a boat ride, ate out, had great fish and lounged. The babies enjoyed seeing Grandma and Grandpa Berger's house. They slept great at night and we had some 6 hour stretches between feedings. :) I contracted mastitis, an infection of the milk ducts, which made my last 1 1/2 days pretty miserable, as I had the chills, body aches, head ache, pain, etc. Of course no pharmacies were open so I couldn't get the antibiotics I needed. Overall it was a fun weekend and we were so proud of the babies!
