Chunky Butt

Warning-Graphic Verbal Content and Nudity.

Brooke has had a bad case of diarrhea. This started on Thursday night and really hasn't let up. We're talking 4 or 5 diapers an hour at times. They are gray in color and really watery ( I'm describing this for all my Mommy readers to empathize with). She isn't running a fever and is happy unless you are changing her diaper due to the bad diaper rash she has developed as a result of the diarrhea.

Changing her diaper has been a battle the past few days since she fights the process (more then normal) and since I'm also trying to apply diaper cream and cornstarch to help keep the moisture off her bottom. Last night her bottom was so raw and she was hysterical during one particular changing. Mommy and Daddy were close to tears too watching the pained look on her face. We took a break after clean up so she could calm down and had a few minutes to air out before phase two. While Brad consoled her I couldn't help but take a few pictures of her adorable chunky butt and her runny nose and red eyes.

Is she getting a tooth? Jayjay's diapers and diaper rash was always the worst when she was cutting a new tooth.

Sorry you have to deal with that. It's horrible when they cry like that.

The pictures are cute, though. She's gonna hate you for them, but they're cute.
