Get Well Soon

Sing with me.... "I'm dreaming of a white....bottle of Advil". It's been calling my name. After getting up several times to nurse my newborn, it turns out my little man needs me too. He's sick. Cough, cough, sniffle, sneeze. Poor little guy. He's had such a rough couple of weeks.

First he has learned that he has to share his mommy and daddy with a new baby, then he breaks out into some horrible, completely sporadic, itchy-as-heck, ugly-looking rash that has no known origin (perhaps he's allergic to his sister??), and now this. I really don't want to take him to another doctor. He needs a break.

With the rash came the doctor, then a team of dermatologists, the diagnosis....Papular Acrodermatitis of Childhood or better known as Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome (better known??), then blood work, urine bags for a sample, disgusting medication, and some potent hydrocortisone lotion. Fun. He use to take a syringe full of medication really well until the disgusting stuff. Now it's full blown rejection. So how do you get a toddler to take some Tylenol when he's burning up without him crying "No,no,no,no,noooo!" My only hope is that this won't require antibiotics and we can get through this.

So after the bottle of Advil, I thought I'd come here and share with you some pics I took of my beautiful new baby girl. I took these after my field trip because I never really had the opportunity to take photos of her by some pretty flowers; she decided to sleep. I like how the photos turned out, but I know they could have been better. I didn't have the best lighting and I don't know how to use my flash to my advantage yet, but I'm still glad I captured her on memory card.
