Irony is....

.... coming down with mastitis while on the way home from a breastfeeding support meeting. :(

When I went to the meeting Alexander hadn't eaten since he got up for the day, and didn't want to nurse much there, so I thought I was just engorged when I was uncomfortable when we were leaving around 11:30. By the time we got home I was in pain, and nursing wouldn't get rid of it. Within half an hour of getting home I had chills. I took a nap when Alexander did and when we woke up 2 hours later I had a fever and the classic "flu-like symptoms" to go with it. By 5 I was in the doctors office getting checked out.

Fortunately antibiotics seems to have nipped it in the bud - still low energy and achy today, but the fever is gone. So it appears to be going away as fast as it came on.
