Lately

Things have finally calmed down around here.  Thank God.  Our current issue is diaper rash.  Arianna usually gets a rash when she is on antibiotics, but this current one is the worst I have ever seen.  Maybe it's due to the two really strong doses of different kinds of them that she was on.. I have tried, Desitin, A&D, Lotrimin (per nurses instructions), Burt's Bees, Vaseline, California Baby, Earth Baby Angel Mama, Aquaphor and Balmex.  Her poor little bum is almost bloody.  This rash has been here for about a week now.  Yes, I have called the Dr. and we have been trying all kinds of different things.  Now it's the weekend and I don't know what to do.  It reminds me of when she had a yeast rash from the last time she was on antibiotics and now that I think of it, we still have the perscription cream Nystatin from that awful experience.  I am tempted to just try it.  The way her rash looks is exactly what a yeast rash is described like.   I just feel so bad because she cries huge tears whenever she has to get her diaper changed, and she calls it a boo-boo.  She won't even sit down half the time because it hurts her so bad.  Poor baby.  If only it was summer and I could let her run around naked outside...

That brings me to my next point.  Summer.  Will it ever be here? I am so sick of being stuck inside this house! I woke up with the intention of going on a walk today, that's all I wanted to do was get us both outside for some fresh air and exercise.  I opened the door this morning to let the dog out and quickly changed my mind.  Freezing.  I checked the weather and it says the high today will be 20.  Awesome.  Wind chill makes it feel like 8.  Even more awesome. That's too cold for me to enjoy a walk.  Please can Spring just GET HERE!?!
