Ok I’m ready to talk about our rough weekend. And it even led to something silly. So here it goes.

Isabelle got her first diaper rash! She was fussing on Saturday. We thought it was because of her tooth. And she was crying and we were trying to console her. She was crying so much! We held her a lot, so much that both our arms are sore. Well in the frantic trying to make her feel better we forgot to change her diaper. And she got this awful diaper rash. It looked so bad. We felt terrible, like total failures.

It was so upsetting that I actually had nightmares of her crying. That night I’d wake up through the night like usual and right as I’d fall asleep again I’d dream she was crying and that would wake me up. I was so distraught that the entire next day Alan changed her diapers. I was too scared to touch her little sore area. In fact he changed her diapers into Monday.

So on Monday Isabelle had been going diaperless and just had a shirt on instead of a onesie. We went to see the doctor and it’s too hot for pants so we left her pantless with just a shirt and a diaper. The doctor told us to put loose diapers on her a size up. So we put her diaper on loosely and went to the store.

When we got to the cash register Alan handed her to me. It was then that we realized her right butt cheek was hanging out because the diaper was too loose. And we had been walking around like that the whole time. Good thing she didn’t pee on Alan.

Oh and the diaper rash is almost gone now. I still feel awful about it but it doesn’t seem to bother Isabelle. I mean it looked REALLY BAD. The doctor even sent a test off to make sure there wasn’t an infection. My poor baby is almost better now.
