      <title>Still Alive</title>
      <description>So sorry I haven&amp;#8217;t posted sooner. Life has been a bit hectic these past few months. Here is a quick rundown of the going- on&amp;#8217;s:
&lt;ul&gt;
- Milk Blisters &amp;#8211; What a Pain! Ouch! &lt;br&gt;
- Diagnosis of Thrush &amp;#8211; Double Ouch!!! Wait, make that triple Ouch!!!&lt;br&gt;
- Jack and his purple mouth due Gentian Violet to get rid of Thrush &amp;#8211; Staining pretty much everything in sight&lt;br&gt;
- Me on 2 different ointments and Diflucan to combat Thrush oh and of course wincing every time Jack was nursing on my stinging nipples! &lt;br&gt;
- Prepping House to Sell &lt;br&gt;
- Keeping House clean for showing (not an easy task when you have a 3 month old!)&lt;br&gt;
- Packing up House when offer was rendered and accepted&lt;br&gt;
- Moving to Rental House while breathlessly awaiting completion of new house (won&amp;#8217;t be ready until Aug/Sept)&lt;br&gt;
- Battling Jack&amp;#8217;s refusal to nap or in general sleep much if at all&lt;br&gt;
- Enduring Jack&amp;#8217;s blood curdling fits while being strapped into his car seat (he used to love his carseat &amp;#8211; now not so much! &lt;span class="caps"&gt;LOML&lt;/span&gt; invested in ear plugs to make sure concentration is not compromised behind the wheel while Jack is exercising his very powerful lungs)&lt;br&gt;
- Jack&amp;#8217;s constant slobbering since he is starting to teethe and well pools of drools come with that! &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;The list could go on and on, but I figure you get the jist. Yes, the last few months have been a bit hectic. The move in and of itself was a major stressor. The fact that it will have to be repeated in a few months again is already giving me a headache but oh well we&amp;#8217;ll deal.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The thrush I think is gone but man-o-man was that a pain &amp;#8211; literally and figuratively. This Breastfeeding thing has just not been an easy road for me. I am determined to stick with it, but boy it&amp;#8217;s been tough!&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Overally though Jack is great. As cute as can be. Wish he&amp;#8217;d sleep better or more but the fact that he is smiling a lot, likes to play with his hair, grab at more things, is learning to sit up by himself, babbles constantly &amp;#8211; makes it all ok. He&amp;#8217;s our little guy who is growing like a weed. He is still as alert as can be which can make feeding still a challenge since he&amp;#8217;ll get so distracted. He&amp;#8217;s taking everything in and loves to jump in his jumperoo. He&amp;#8217;s become the master bouncer. We recently introduced him to the exersaucer and he&amp;#8217;s getting the hang of it. I think though he gets frustrated since he can&amp;#8217;t get a hold of the things he wants quite yet.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So, life is chugging along. Busy but good. I am sorry I have been so &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MIA&lt;/span&gt;. That has not been my intention &amp;#8211; just with everything going on it is sometimes hard to find a few moments available to post. Jack likes a lot of attention so blog posting ends up being pushed to the back burner. I&amp;#8217;ll try to be better about it and steal a few moments here and there.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Here is a link to Jack&amp;#8217;s latest and greatest! Enjoy!

	&lt;p&gt;Hope everyone is doing well!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
