I can hardly grasp that Baby Milk is already one year old. She's crawling everywhere, understands absolutely everything, and is incredibly cute and funny.
I especially love this silly photo :)
Diaries of a newbie mom
Baby Milk just started daycare, and you know how everyone says kids get sick right away in daycare? We're no exception.
Happily, Milk caught a very light bug, just some very mild coughing, one day of runny nose... and super frequent, battery acid poop.
Poop comes and diaper rash follows. Within a day, it went from slightly irritated to a disaster area.
Milk's poor bottom became all red, with several alarming, raw-looking burns. Poor baby was crying at every diaper change.
Our relief came from a treatment cream called Inotyol, an over the counter cream from the local pharmacy. That thing is magic in a tube!
I've smeared a good layer of Inotyol before bedtime, and by morning baby's bum was well on its way to recovery. It healed everything but the scariest burns, within 24 hours.
I wish I took some before and after pics, but I was way too concerned and distracted to document this for posterity...
Inotyol. It's, magic, I tell you!
I washed my hair the other day.
That wouldn't be a dramatic occasion for most people, but it is to me! At that point I haven't washed or combed my hair in 3 weeks. Gross? Yes it is.
When I finally got to it, in the shower, I discovered that a large patch of hair dreaded, and had to detangle it.
By the way my hair is curly and butt length...
I also suffer from postpartum shedding.
If you're either a longhair or a mom, you probably know where this is going. It was pure misery. The ordeal took me 2.5 hours and produced a wig-sized hairball in the drain, big enough to make hubby gasp when he saw it.
Lesson learned. Too bad I didn't take a picture.
