~Baby Bottom Blues ~

As all moms have gone through (at least once) , Addison has had an ongoing never-curable diaper rash ,although hers is not your ordinary run of the mill rash . The first time we gave up going through every type of diaper, wipe , laundry soap, diaper cream and made a trip to the doctor.
Lo and behold it was yeast infection .. we were prescribed an antibiotic and a cream ..and after a weeks use .. it cleared up a bit but still was quite irritated. Back to the doctor after a few weeks to see if it may be something else and the doctor said she must just have really sensitive skin and told us to pick up some cream from the pharmacy downstairs (at superstore south) formulated and produced by the IWK in halifax (it had no other name other than Buttocks paste ) , I went down and they seemed to know exactly what I was asking for ,although i'm not sure whether all pharmacies carry it or just that one ,it was a bit pricey , about 7.50 for 100 mg, a beige color, a really nice consistency and smelled like yeast (kind of ironic eh?). That night I coated her before bed , next morning magically the rash was gone ...no itching , no redness ... gone ! ....


So I thought for the benefit of all you frustrated Moms like me out there ... sudocrem is great but this cream is amazing!! Go out, get some and kiss your baby bottom worries goodbye !!

Quick Update

Just wanted to write out a quick update , since lord I haven't written since october ! ...Well here goes : Josh (dh) was laid off before christmas and we are on a never-ending job search for him it seems ..and i've pretty much applied to every job I could find in canada and still Nothing !...Even still christmas went well , the gurlies were once again spoiled beyond their needs and we got a few nice things too.
I had a nice 2-week break from school and am now again knee deep in school work. Loving the student life (who ever thought that would be coming out of my mouth ) and making loads of new friends. Girls are loving their new babysitter and I can't say enough about her .. as soon as I get batteries for this camera I will post some pics.
