DiaperRash, Christmas Village, Sickness

November 17-23, 2008: Nothing too much to write about this week. It was a pretty laid back week. Mostly we are all just recovering from being ill. Jade had really bad diarrhea and ended up getting horrible diaper rash. I called the pediatrican to ask for ideas on what I could do to get the diaper rash under control and she recommended I use Lanolin to work as a skin barrier. She also suggested giving Jade yogurt. I didn't know I could give Jade yogurt at 6 months but she said it would be okay. Sure enough, within one day the yogurt had gotten rid of her diarrhea. So mental note: next time Jade takes amoxicillin, I need to give her yogurt.
Also on Monday and Tuesday I had a TNCC class for my nursing continual education. It's an 8 hour class, two days a week with an extremely hard test at the end of the two days. Luckily I passed but it was extremely hard and time consuming. Jade stayed with my mom and Jen Sorensen for those two days. She did a really good job.
On Wednesday I had to go to traffic school for the ticket I got last month while driving to lunch to meet the Sorensen ladies. It was so gay. What a waste of my time. But you've got to do what you've got to do to keep the insurance costs down.
On Saturday Aaron, Jade and I went down to my parents house to help them put up their Christmas village. It took us several hours and all we did was help them unload all the boxes. Jade had fun though sitting on the floor looking at all the action. I am really starting to like this paper weight stage that Jade is in. She is content sitting on the floor with a toy as long as she is in the middle of the action.


Aaron is starting to get sick. He has felt crappy all day today. He's getting the cold that Jade and I are getting over. Poor thing. I know he didn't feel well when he decided to not go to football in the morning. :)
On Sunday, Aaron stayed home from church sick in bed. He feels awful. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Gunn's house without him.
