Phil had to work today, so Oliver and I were upstairs all morning by ourselves. Ma and Pa had their hands full downstairs getting everything ready so I couldn't send him down, even though I was up to my ears in work myself. The kitchen smells foul with every dish and pot known to man in the sink, dirty from 2 days before or maybe more... and Phil's present was still not finished and that was my top priority.
Oh and I forgot to mention, I have clogged ducts again-- this time in the other breast. I just got over mastitis, in fact I finished my meds like 2 days ago, and now breast number 2 is clogged-- but I don't have a fever yet so maybe I can avoid it? So all day I was tired and in pain and trying to clean and work on the present and occupy Oliver myself. My only hope was that Bradley would come in and take Oli from me and occupy him... but his flight was delayed until mid afternoon.
So Oliver was really clingy today and only wanted to sleep with me. Oh no comp running out of battery. More later.

Now where was I... ok so yesterday I had tons to do and oliver was clingy and just wanted to nap with me so I couldn't get anything done, but he wanted to nurse while he napped and that was actually inconvenient but good for my mastitis so I spent like half the day nursing him. The rest of the day I spent making Oliver's gift.

Ok so here we try again to finish the post... welcome to life with a baby, right? never get anything done. Ok moving on then. So Oli and I nursed half of xmas eve and didn't get much of anything done. But after some scrambling I did finish what I needed to of Phillip's gift-- a warhammer game board-- and Phil came home and helped me bake broccoli squares for Carol's birthday "cake." Of course I did it wrong; totally forgot about the cheese until the end, so I had to melt the cheese on top and it ruined the whole texture of it. But all's well that ends well and it turned out tasting ok anyway.
Christmas eve morning, phil's parents smelled gas so they called the gas company. 2 fire engines arrived and didn't find anything and Oliver was nursing so I couldn't go down and take pictures. Then the gas people arrived and they were still there when I was posting this at 3:38a.m. And they were there all day Christmas as well!
