Wyatt has been a little under the weather lately, and today it got a little worse. He's on some antibiotics because the doctor thought he might have an ear infection, and since Friday his diapers have been rather runny. TMI - sorry. Today it has gotten worse, and this afternoon/evening he cries when he makes a dirty diaper. :( I let him soak in the bathtub after several of them so I didn't have to be so vigorous with the diaper wipes, but even that made him cry after a while. So, we are trying a few home remedies tonight - one is a Maalox/triple antibiotic ointment/vaseline mix, and the other is some browned flour. Grandma B. swears by the flour - we'll see how it works! It's emotionally rough on Mommy when he is crying and hurting and there is so little I can do about it.
Yesterday Aaron and I went on a date night, and one of the students that works for him came over and watched him. Well, last night around 3 am Wyatt woke up crying, so I went in to check on him. He was completely soaked - so much that when I picked him up, he soaked one side of my shirt! When I changed his diaper, I realized the babysitter had put his diaper on really loose and BACKWARDS! lol That really made me laugh. I wasn't laughing though when Wyatt was still awake two hours later... I think that was a sign for what was to come today. *sigh* I think this must be one of those Mommy-rites-of-passage days/weeks.
I've got my feet up now, and I think I'm going to bed early. Aaron is working a wedding tonight, so he won't be home until really late!
