It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Has to Poop

or Tylenol, Butt paste, and Vaseline...What More Could a Girl Want

Tammie and I now realize that Bailey has completely spoiled us up until yesterday. Once we found the right formula for her, we've had no problems. She has slept through the night and even put herself to bed without much (if any) fuss.

Then the diarrhea hit...

Yesterday morning, Bailey came down with a stomach bug and developed a case of the runs. The real problem with this is not the actually stomach problem, but the resulting case of diaper rash! Bailey's butt looks like a candy apple that has split in two. The poor little girl just couldn't get comfortable all night long, so either mom or dad stayed up with her all night holding her on our shoulders (we haven't done that since she was six weeks old). We even took her to the doctor yesterday afternoon, only for them to tell us that it would have to "run it's course." (Thanks doc!)

Today she is doing a little better. Her stomach doesn't seem to be bothering her quite as much and the screaming (my god did she scream last night) has subsided. We've been treating her with children's Tylenol, liberal amounts of butt paste and some Vaseline. Not to mention letting her hang around naked. Makes for some interesting feeding sessions...
