Moby Wrap and Blisters

So... I've been really wanting to get a Moby Wrap for a while now, but couldn't spare the extra money to go and get one. I found a Snugli on sale at Target for just over $6, so we got that and have been using it. Pete loves it... I HATE it. I think it's because of my body shape and the fact that when I wear it... it just feels funny. Well today we went up to Babies R Us to try and find parts to my breast pump... FAIL. Well we were walking around and happened to walk past the carriers and Pete stopped and picked up the Moby box. He asked if this is what I have been wanting and I said yes and turned to keep walking. He said, well do you want to get it? UH HELLO... OF COURSE I DO!!! I figured he was going to say we would have to come back or something... but NO... he handed it to me and said I deserved it. YAY!!! Don't know why he was sucking up (think it's because he got a new job and won't see us almost everyday like he has been), but I'll take it. So far the Moby is soooo much easier then I thought it would be. It's so comfortable and Kenley seems to like it too.... YAY! My mom looked totally confused when I asked her to help me out the first time.. LOL, but she got the hang of it with me.

Speaking of my breast pump... I woke up this morning with 2 lumps on my left nipple. At first I thought I had clogged ducts, but then I realized they were on the nipple... not the breast. Well yesterday when I pumped I noticed a little blood, but I thought I had some cracks or something and thats what caused them. OH NO!!! I was kind of freaking so I called the lactation consultant before I made a doctors appointment. She said it sounded like a blister, which are normally caused by improper latch or improper fitting pump... GO FIGURE. They hurt SOOOO bad. She said to massage the area and use heat, but don't be too rough with them and in time they will go away. BLAH!!!! They thought of feeding Kenley on that side is enough to make me want to throw up. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it go away soon!!!
