Pooping!?!

So, I will spare you the pictures, but Corey and I have had an awful twenty four hours with Adelynn. She wont stop pooping! I change her diaper about every half hour, and as a result she has a nasty diaper rash. We have plastered it with powder and Desitin. Nothing has helped, she just SCREAMS everytime we wipe it. I thought that putting her in the bathtub would make her feel better. She started crying and wouldn't sit down in the tub. She just SCREAMED, and I started crying because I didn't know what to do to help her. She wont sit down, and she wont drink anything but her bottle. We've tried Pedialyte, and she wont eat much. Which could be good, because she threw up yesterday too. I feel like I have spent all weekend doing her laundry, changing diapers, and listening to Corey complain about how much pain he is in (did I mention he is sick too?) They are finally both asleep, so I am venting. I'm suppose to be at church teaching my lesson, but I felt like my family needed me more. So, I am at home watching BYU devotionals and folding laundry. The joys of motherhood! Some days it isn't worth it, and other days it is sooo worth it. Good thing we have a balance to appreciate it all. :)

  3. "I will spare you the pictures"?!?
    You HAVE pictures of that? Why? ;-)
    Just teasing (what are sisters for?)
    I'm sorry that you guys aren't feeling well. We know how that goes, and it IS frustrating. Hang in there!

  4. Welcome to the dark side of motherhood ;) If she is still that sick I would take her in to her Dr. and if her diaper rash is still bad try using a blow dryer on low heat and make sure her butt is totally dry before putting the next diaper on. I hope that everyone gets feeling better!

  5. I assume Ady is still sick since your car is outside - yeah, I'm a stalker. I hope your fam gets better soon! I just bought tons of Desitin so if you need to borrow any, come on over. :)
