I am scared of my breasts

Ok, this is not my most shinning moment and I am a bit embarrased to admit that my two breasts now scare me. Who would have ever thought it. I have completely new respect for them. Sure we have had a great relationship all along, no complaints really. However on Friday night that all changed. I had my first clogged milk duct. What Daddy! That was and is not an experience that I choose to repeat. 4 hours of pain. Bad pain. Pain that would not resolve itself. I tried pumping it out, warm compresses, a hot shower, different nursing positions with Ryan, crying, nothing worked. Ryan was fussy because I was worked up and he was not getting enough milk or what he wanted. I tried to settle us into bed. Suddenly the pressure was gone and the clog was unclogged. 4 hours later. Ugh. I have new respect for my breasts. Holy cow.
