Thanks for the love. I might make a thread at some point on the private board, but as of right now, I can't even gather my thoughts. It's just too much bazi it is affecting ( or is it effecting? I never know the difference with that one lol) ds2. That's why it's been so difficut *pushes up nerd glasses * Short answer to the bolded: Affect = verb, meaning to influence, as in "The shutdown is affecting government workers and their families" Effect = noun, the thing that was influenced, as in "Study Focuses on the Effect of Antibiotics on Germs" Thank you for this! I will probably still chose to use other words because no matter how many times it's explained I can't figure it out ha! |

Got some antibiotics. Confirmed UTI. Perfect. 🙄🙄 at least I’m on meds now and the doctor gave me a few extra pills in case it doesn’t get better over our trip. So glad you caught it before you left!!! Hope it clears quickly!  |

Ds3 was saying over 20 words at this age and knew his colors and shapes. AJ growls and points 🤣 The differences between kids at this stage is astounding. In the end they all talk back and never shut up Ain't that the truth! |

cakewench you can always put a bit of Cetaphil (or cortisone cream if it's bothering him) and then Vaseline over it. I prefer Vaseline to aquaphor. Ds2 gets irritated cheeks from sleeping on them sometimes. The Vaseline acts as a barrier.

DC's been leaving notes in the app that N's got some bad diaper rash today. Ugh. Sounds like the purple Desitin isn't doing much - might grab some Max Strength Butt Paste before I pick him up.

I am a devotee of the Triple Paste. It’s more expensive but it’s cleared up rash on my kids when nothing else would. |

cakewench when DS had a brutal bout of diaper rash due to antibiotics, I did the A&D ointment and then triple paste over that. Hope it clears up!

My coworker just recommended a three-pronged simultaneous attack of Triple Paste, Aquaphor, and Butt Paste. I'll probably pick up some Triple Paste and Butt Paste at Target before I get him, slather some combo on it, then let him have some free diaper time over an old sheet in his room before bed.

Well ds2 has another ear infection, I'm guessing the first round of antibiotics didn't clear it up all the way. Hopefully the new ones do the trick! At least there is an explanation for all the wake ups.

cakewench sometimes I just do baby powder, then there is this cover all the bases concoction.  ETA: a warm baking soda bath is nice too. Or look up bleach bath (I can't remember the ratio).

Well, he came home in the underwear. They had zero issues getting him to put them on. Miracle workers. He has gone potty in the little potty twice since getting home. The little underwear are so cute on him, I wish they made the with smaller leg holes. Now he wants to nurse, balance? 🤷🏻♀️

I just scheduled my annual today for April. Maybe if B is STTN by then we’ll talk about #2. 🤪😂😭☕️ I know a lot here already have two, but I can't believe there haven't been any pregnancy announcements yet! I realized the other day that if I wanted kids two years apart (which I don't, but I think is pretty common in my friend group) I'd have to get pregnant a month from now. So not ready for that! Also surprised no one is pregnant yet. My bestie found out she was pregnant with her second at only 6mpp. Took them two years of IF to have their first. The universe is funny sometimes. |

Also hi. I'm here. Working and parenting solo a lot since H started his new job and has a three hour commute. We're starting the process of getting our house appraised and we've been looking at builders, went to a couple resale open houses. Ugh, I don't want to leave my perfect built for me house. It's going to be such a tough year.
C is also teething hard. I can see her two top ones on either side of the middles cutting. She was crying in her sleep all night. At one point I went in to check on her and she was asleep sitting up. Then I accidentally startled her awake so she had a two hour party, obviously. I'm very tired.

I think I’m going to start weaning N. it’s giving me all the feelz thinking about it. But his nights are getting shittier and Shittier. Bedtime routine is a gong show. He doesn’t want to nurse just wants to fool around and play. So then I get frustrated and put him in bed to CIO but can’t do it so then I go get him and he dry sobs and hiccups himself to sleep in my arms. It’s so sad.
I don’t know. I won’t start yet. Maybe February. Maybe never. 😂

cakewench - b gets rashes when he teeth’s so that might be what you have. He had one on his chest for months and nothing would get rid of it. We did aquaphor pretty regularly. Also B just started eating like crazy this week after picking at things for a few weeks. It’s so nice that he wants to eat what we are. Last night was one wake up. He went down pretty well tonight so I hope we are back on track. H leaves tomorrow for a business trip so I’m solo until Saturday and hope I don’t have crappy nights.

Hugs, cnf ! Tried to give N some diaper free time last night, but he kept a) trying to walk and falling on his bum and b) trying to play with the diaper pail and getting angry when I wouldn't let him. He got about 15 minutes of open air time. Liberally applied the red tube Butt Paste with some aquaphor (I have triple paste on hand as well now!). Had this brilliant idea to change his diaper at midnight so he wouldn't be in a wet one all night... started off OK. His bum already looked much better. Then as I'm putting more paste on, he pees everywhere, so I had to do a full wardrobe and sleep sack change and it took forever to get him back down. I still think it was the right call since his diaper was pretty wet but ugh. His bum was definitely better this morning but still a little red. Hopefully he will poop less today? He pooped SO MUCH yesterday the DCP thought he was back on antibiotics lol. FX it just doesn't get worse. (Knock on wood, it's just red, not cracked and bleeding. DNW to get to that point.) |

Woke up dry! One tiny accident as he was pulling down his jammies - I wish he would go with just undies, but he likes his legs & feet covered, damn eczema.

Ds2 had a better night last night and didn't fight the antibiotics so that's a relief! I am starting to get a cold now.. boo! So far I feel fine aside from a stuffy nose so hopefully it's a quick one.
Daycare has been having good luck with giving ds2 the cheap take and toss sippy cups so I'm going to have my H pick some up and see. I'm glad it wasn't a super fancy one haha.

He is wearing just undies, after a poop accident (long morning already), he has decided the characters go in front and is wearing them backwards. |

Ughhh poor N! I checked in with DC and they said his bum is still pretty red and sore. They upped his diaper size for more air, but apparently he cries every time he gets changed now and my heart is breaking I can't be there until tonight to give him snuggles.
ETA: Why is he suddenly pooping so much? 3 times already today. And it's not diarrhea either. Is it eating more solids?

We gave B blueberries Monday and he pooped 6 times Tuesday. He started eating cheese, two days in a row, starting Tuesday. He's been getting milk mixed in with his bottles since last week, so I'm not sure why the cheese would do it and not milk... but bodies are weird like that I guess. |

Solo parenting sucks but I think it’s nice to have some quiet alone time when H is away! Enjoy yourself. |
