My werewolf baby

Auntie Heather for the win!  


(Incidentally, I always thought FTW meant 'fuck the world.'  I only recently learned what it *really* meant.  Don't know where that came from or why I'm sharing but there you have it.)


Anyway, heat rash it is!  And only because Drew will never shut up unless I say it, he said it was heat rash a week ago.  Gah.  However, not listening to my husband is nothing new and it's not like he listens to me when *I* say stuff so I really don't know why he's surprised.


But who said what a week ago is not important.  What's most important is that my baby is better!  When I read Heather's comment a lightbulb went off and taking off some layers of clothes seemed way easier than any elimination diet - although I will do that if things don't get all the way better.


Of course, it makes sense that I married a werewolf that I might have a werewolf baby.  Remember when we went to San Francisco and I froze my ass off and Drew was in shorts?  Now, that is my house.

This is how I went to bed.

Tank top for easy boob access, cardigan because my arms freeze,

pants because my legs freeze and socks because

my feet freeze.

This is how the baby went to bed.

She *was* swaddled but she kicked it off.

Baby cleavage!!

But more importantly, no redness!

Both Drew and the baby slept nearly naked and I slept fully clothed because the air was turned down to negative Arctic freeze your ass off, but it worked!  All the redness was gone by the next morning!  She's still got the bumps but even those appear to be getting a little better.  I'm going to try what you've said and look into that Aveeno, bathing her in cool water, and breathing deeply and trying not to worry.

Plus, we've graduated!

She's big enough for her cloth diapers!

Sharing the chupie with Daddy

After a particularly fantastic explosion out of her newborn diapers, Drew was like "I think it's time for the cloth."  We put her in them, and Drew spent time with her while I took a nice long shower - I was even able to do my hair!  And I don't know what he did, but she took a nap for over two hours!  Some of it even in her crib!

In her straitjacket, I mean Miracle Blanket

with her legs out so she doesn't get too hot.

Gotta love the front-butt!

Cloth diapers are new to me too, give me a break!

Thank you all so much for your advice and encouragement!  It helped to keep me from worrying and that's exactly what I needed.  You guys are the greatest!
