TUBES

Andrew has to get surgery on his ears tomorrow. He has had 5 ear infections in 3 months, and it isn' t even "sick season" yet. So he has to get tubes. I know it is a very simple procedure, and it is no big deal. We should even be in and out of the hospital in 3 hours. But even though I want to be rational about it, I can't help but feel stressed. I get so much anxiety thinking about my baby in a hospital bed. I just have to keep telling myself that it is what is best for him. At least I will have Brian there with me to lean on. Because lets be honest I will probably cry...Poor Brian, I am so glad he is such a good Daddy and Husband. Wish us luck tomorrow!!

HELP!!

So Andrew has the worst Yeast infx/Diaper Rash I have ever seen! I have taken him to the Doctor 3 times, tried 3 different medications, and switched formulas. I have tried sits baths, leaving him naked all day to dry, and I am at my wits end. He is so happy until I have to change him and then he just cries the saddest cry you have ever heard! Every time it starts to look a little better he takes a nap, poops while he is sleeping, and it is super sore all over again. Sometimes it even bleeds! He is such a good baby, I just don't think it is fair that he has to suffer like he is. Makes me cry. So if anyone has had to deal with this before and has any advise I am ALL EARS!

Doesn't his smile just melt your heart?
