Thrush

Today, I took you to the doctor's, Katy. We saw Dr. Houston. She was very nice and personable.

You've been experiencing some sort of diaper rash for the last week, or so, so I thought I'd get it looked at since the remedy the nurse told me over the phone only made the problem worse and more irritated. Turns out that you not only have a yeast infection, a staph infection and thrush (yeast infection in the mouth), but I, too, have a yeast infection on my breasts because you breastfeed and we pass it back and forth to one another. The doctor wrote out some prescriptions for both of us but from everything I've read, thrush can be stubborn and hard to get rid of (especially now, since you put EVERYHING in your mouth!). Looks like a sterilizer bath for all toys, bottles, EVERYTHING! And people thought I was crazy for having a bottle sterilizer....

On a different note, when they weighed you today, you weighed 19 lbs, 7 ozs.! Growing girl!
