| That's It! I'm calling the TOOTHFAIRY!! |
Every so often when Kyan is cutting a particularly difficult tooth we get a visit from the ol' diaper rash. It's not a big thing for kids to get diaper rashes, slight fevers, excessive drooling, etc. when they are cutting a tooth. Even loss of appetite is quite common or so I hear. So over the weekend I could tell that the pinkness in his ever so cute buns wasn't just the rosieness following a nice relaxing bath and it was time to get the vasoline, powder, and let him air dry as much as possible. A pee through the baby gate, mopping the kitchen floor, and a day later it was time to call the Pediatrician. Now, I'm not the type of person who calls the Dr. when it's not necessary, but there's no need to prolong any discomfort to the tushie when I know it's not going to go away on it's own and the over the counter stuff irritates his already overly sensitive skin. Now, the first time this happened, we had a nice trip to the ER on a Saturday night. In the dead of winter I haul my baby out in a snowsuit (5 month old mind you) a fuzzy sleeper, his undershirt, socks and a blanket and we go to the hospital where a few month prior to he was born. The ER doctor obviously thought I was a loon because the first thing he said upon opening up the sleeper to find the undershirt and socks was "Mom has you bundled up very well Mr.!" and then a laugh and shake of the head. Hey! My Mamaw would kill me if I didn't keep an undershirt on my baby! Chest colds are no joke! The second time we called in a refil to his Pediatrician and no visit was needed. This time I did the same only to be ridiculed about why I thought he needed to come in (Well.. I figured they'd want to look at it to see how bad it really was and not just call in another refil so I asked if a visit was necessary. What happened to that There is no such thing as a stupid question rule?) And off we went to the Pharmacy for pick up.
So here I sit at the computer at nearly 2 a.m. We had a nice nap from 9 until 10 and then we're back up, drooling like a fiend, not taking the breast or bottle, and being irritable in our play pen. No love for the Mommy. I hate the toothfairy. |
