Well Baby Check-up

Reese had her well check-up on Thursday and boy, was it rough! I knew going in that she would have two shots but in the end . . . we had to do more. Reese has been having MAJOR rash issues and everything I try, it never clears completely. Or, she will poop all day . . . and it just gets so much worse. Dr. Lee and I discussed many things. Could be an allergy? Possibly Celiac Disease (which Gigi and Auntie Donna have)? Allergy to the cloth diapers? Allergy to the detergent I use? We decided to do some general food allergy test, a test for anemia and Celiac.

This meant after having shots, we had to go to the Lab and have her blood drawn . . . it was hard, she cried before we even started! The ladies that did it were helpful, one held the arm, one drew the blood . . . I had her on my lap hugging her other arm down. She is pretty strong so i felt worse having to hold her in a lock hold but I knew she would just pull the needle out. Luckily, before we left I had given her some Motrin knowing the shots would be coming.

Stats:
Weight ~ 22.5 lbs
Height ~ 32 1/4 in.
HC ~ 44.7 cm

(so sad . . . shot and blood drawn, Mama had to take a picture!)

After all this, we had more waiting for the prescription ointment for the rash (that had turned bacterial). We got there and I thought for sure it would be ready . . . but NO! I went up to check and thank goodness I did, there was some mix up, a guy got yelled at and the lady filled it right then for me. Reese had calmed a bit with being able to take lotion bottles off the shelf (and put them back) but she was done by the time I had to pay.

Now . . . we just wait and see what they say. Her little bum looks better and seems to no longer be infected! I'll keep you all posted.
