The Pimple Saga Continues…
We went to the dermatologist this morning who didn’t think my Angel’s pimples were a big deal at all. He showed us pictures of kids with the same thing in his medical books and gave us an antifungal cream to use because, evidently, this is the general treatment. (I don’t know why we are supposed to use fungal cream when it’s not a fungus, I only got 3 hours of sleep last night so you’ll have to ask Rob about that.) We are also supposed to continue with the Cetaphil and try Antibacterial Cetaphil. He told us it will clear up on its own, probably by the time she’s 3 months. So, in a nutshell, this is a problem that won’t be solved with the help of modern medicine.
Audrey was sleeping through the night pretty well and also took a bottle without protest until last week. Now she screams her head off every we try and feed her with a bottle and doesn’t give in for about 5 hours, at which point she must give in due to hunger. She also wakes up every two hours now. Last night she slept from 1:30 – 3:30, 4:30 – 6:00 and 6:30 – 7:15… I slept even less than this of course because I can’t fall asleep until AFTER she’s been asleep for a few minutes. She doesn’t cry when she wakes up like she used to, I try to feed her but she’s usually not even all that hungry! (I know, I know, rice cereal… but I’m trying not to go that route unless absolutely necessary… i.e. I can no longer function!) If you want to know about why I am avoiding it see the articles below:
I don’t know what’s going on but it really sucks since I have to go back to work in less than two weeks. I don’t know how I’m going to manage this. Maybe we’ll win the lottery and I can just stay home… and hire a housekeeper and a personal trainer.
To top it all off I have my period. Yes, I’m still breastfeeding….Yes, I said period. After 9 months of trying to get pregnant, NOW I am the most fertile woman on the planet…go figure?!?! To top it all off, have not slept for than 4 hours straight in about 50 days. I don’t think I have finished a dream since before the baby was born?!?! I’m lucky if I make it to REM at all…
You know, you guys can post comments to this site now (see COMMENTS at the end of any post.) Any advice would be appreciated…except rice cereal. 🙂
