Part of the reason I have not been bloging as much this past month is due to the fact that Elijah has really been trying my patients. I love my baby boy, I love him so much, but when he was sick, and I was sick, he really tried me. I have to admit, there were many moments these past few weeks that he would wake up in the middle of the night, or super early and just scream. Since I too was sick I didn't tend to him as I should have, but took him to my bed and hope that I too could get just a smidge of extra sleep. Then came the antibiotics. I loved them, for both Elijah and myself, but then came the yeast rash. Now all of a sudden he didn't want his bottem touched because it was redder than an apple. Have you ever tried to hold/carry a baby when you couldn't touch it's butt? Yeah it was not awesome. 
By the end of the day, I was so exhausted and I felt like crap that I didn't want to do anything but sleep. Saturday, Elijah goes back to the doctor to check to make sure his ears are clear (which I don't think they are) and hopefully we will be back on track for a healthy household. Cross your fingers.

no fun! We are passing the cold germs around our house now and it sucks! Someone told me if a baby takes a antibiotic they should always take a probiotic to avoid yeast infections. (And good for adults too) Liv hasn't ever had one but if I take a antibiotic I make sure to give her some probiotics. They make a few kinds for kids. Hope you are both better soon!!
