forgot to mention...

I forgot to mention that by making it past the 11-pound mark, Isaac has doubled his birth weight. :) No wonder my shoulders are sore! :)

Last night was a very tough one. We spent it at my apartment, just the two of us. He screamed a lot, and every time I thought I had gotten him calmed down, he started crying again. :( I finally put him in the swing and he went to sleep, around 1:30am, and slept till about 5, upon which I moved him into the bed with me and fed him and we slept some more, on and off. Sigh.

I like to think that at least some of the problem lately has been this horribly hot, humid weather we're having. Isaac has had some heat-rash and I know he's got to be as uncomfortable as the rest of us. The humidity is supposed to break tomorrow-ish (please, yes, please) so I'm hoping things will look up after that.

Heat Rash

A mom-to-mom tip:

Aveeno makes a wonderful diaper rash ointment. Very effective.

The best ointment for heat rash and diaper rash is called Aquaphor.

Sorry you're going through such hell!! Remember, it won't last forever.

You have a BEAUTIFUL baby, even if the humidity is making everyone miserable.

Yay baby! I know I'm (obviously) about 2 months late, but congrats to you and Isaac both!
