Went To The Doctor Today!

I know...I know! You are going to say that we just went! Well, we went again! Rylie and Avery had developed a diaper rash and we thought it really looked painful! We called the doctor and, of course, the nurse suggested we come in! So, I (all by myself) took Rylie to the doctor! I hadn't driven anywhere in month's...so it was pretty neat to get out and do something on my own...not depending on anyone else (except for Mimi and Grammy who were watching my other 2 munchkins)!!

The doctor said it was "diaper burn"...she said you could get it from using wipes (if the babies have sensitive skin) or from stool/bm's irritating their skin! We think it was probably the wipes because we quit using them and it hadn't gotten any worse! We actually started rinsing all 3 of them under the sink to clean them each diaper change. That way we wouldn't have to rub their lil' bottoms causing any further irritation! The girls have really ended up enjoying that! They all have this pleasant look when we are rinsing them! Sometimes...in fact, OFTEN, they seem to go to the bathroom when we are putting the new diaper on just so they can go under the sink again! It's pretty funny! They seem to have it all figured out!

Anyway, the doctor prescribed an ointment for the girls...she said it should work in the next few days! Yea!!

Rylie was also weighed when we went to the doctor! She was 4 lbs. 12 oz's last Wednesday and only 6 days later she weighed 5 lbs. 6 oz's...10 oz's more! The doctor was very pleased. She said she looks for babies to gain an ounce a day and Rylie far exceeded that!!

Anyway, we are all doing well! The girls are eating more and growing every day! Mommy and Daddy are starting to figure them out with the help of Mimi and Grammy! We are so blessed!

Thank you all for being so patient and understanding in regards to visiting! When they are old enough we are going to share them with you all! So get ready!
