aaaahhhh

so after 12 hours today of being home alone with my dd who i adore - i'm going to lose my mind! she has coxsackie virus, and what i thought were 6 teeth are 8 teeth and now i see her diaper rash is back in full force thanks to her new teeth. thank GOD she's feeling better today than the past couple of days but geez she won't simmer down and now the stupid rash is back does anyone else ever feel just burned out??? or am i a whimp?

ok vent over

Re: aaaahhhh

You are sooooo not a wimp. My DH is deployed right now and trust me I've had a few days where I am rburning the candle at both ends Hope these make it better

Re: aaaahhhh

i will keep your DH in my prayers - i can only imagine how difficult it must be for you

Re: aaaahhhh

I hope Anna feels better! I must say though, at least she is getting teeth! Claire has been teething like a maniac and still nothing! Right now she is chomping on a frozen wash clothe!

For the diaper rash, have you tried Triple Paste or just using some milk on cotton balls (this works miracles)



And no, you are perfectly normal! I have been home all summer and am about to loose my mind! I am counting the days until I go back to work!

Re: aaaahhhh

thanks we had not tried the triple paste but our ped had given us a prescription for Vusion ointment and it works great - she had the same bad rash when she cut her first 2 teeth in May. nothing OTC was cutting it for her. the teeth look really cute but i feel bad the poor kid doesnt seem to catch a break. i hope Claire's cut through soon!!!
