Hey girls, I really don't have time for persies but just an update - yesterday Eva cried when I left her at daycare then ended up having a very bad day. She had four watery poos and her bum is burned bare! They called me at 3 to tell me to come get her because she could not take it anymore. She has no skin left in that area all around her bum and girly bits...I was outside of the school when they called so I got her home and did my best to change her every half hour and did not use any products on her skin (except for the cream) - Her skin is completely raw and even bleeding in some parts What the hell happenned? I read that the teething can do this since it makes the poo very acidic and my friend told me her baby had the same thing and got teeth two days later (she told me it looked lmike someone had taken an iron and burned her skin, which is what Eva's bum looks like)...but I see nothing in Eva's mouth (although she is not very good at letting me in there at the mo)...I feel so bad for her...Every time she has a pee she whimpers like a little dog because it burns I didn't even bathe her last night - DH and I just ran some water on her with the showerhead and she seemed to appreciate that...I can't wipe or use any product on her bum so every change is very slow with a lot of caressing of her head. It seems to be getting slightly better, and I am staying on top of constant changing and cream application. I feel so bad for her It looks so painful.

So hopefully she gets out of this today or tomorrow...The poo is getting more solid and she is eating very well, so I can only imagine it is her teeth. I guess I have to wait and see. Did anyone else experience bad diaper rash with teething???

I have to get some work done since I don't know how much time she will nap for - I managed to get her to sleep with a tight wrap...She just stared off and dropped into sleep - I think she needs a bit of physicall restraint at the mo because no matter how exhausted she is she still manages to be physically active in bed or in my arms when I try to get her down - the wrapping helped her settle in about 5/10 min! I thought she would fight out of it because she hated it when we tried when she was smaller but I think she appreciated the forced stillness. She is even on her back - I put a pillow under her head and the maternity pillow around her legs so that if she wakes up and wiggles around she won't fall into an uncomfortable position. She is sleeping so soundly though, so I am glad I tried it.

Ok let me get some emails read, because once she wakes up my productivity is over (except for spending time with her, which is better

xoxo

I'll get back with persies tom!
