A Night without Daddy

Yesterday was a crazy day of Dr appointments. In the morning I had a CT scan done of my kidneys while grandma watched Naomi for me. I got home just in time to get Josiah from school, eat lunch and then take Naomi to the allergist. She is such a trooper. She was tested for all the most common food allergies, all the additional foods she has already started on and for dust mites. 24 Scratches on the back later and low and behold she is not allergic to anything. This is good. The allergist thinks that she has eczema and has put her on a steriod cream and Zyrtec for the itching. Last night was much better as far as her comfort level. Today she has had no rash, so perhaps the allergist really does know what he is talking about. She is going to be on this regime of creams and medicine until she doesn't have any outbreaks again. He said it could be 2 years from now that she grows outof it. She is also not allowed to use any of the traditional baby lotions. We can only use creams on the approved list like eucerin and aquafor. Oh! Crisco is on the approved list too! I guess I will just have to accept the fact that my baby is not going to smell like a baby.
If that was not enough for the day. Greg spent the night at the sleep clinic. He had a sleep study to see what is causing his snoring. His snoring doesn't bother him at all, but it keeps me awake a lot. Hopefully we will know something soon. I can't believe that the night went as well as it did without Daddy being there to help out. I had to put both kids to bed without help and we are all doing great. It is true - it does get better with time. Naomi was only up twice during the night and slept until 5am instead of 4am. That was good for me. Josiah also only got up once, which is a record for him. All in all we had a good day. Thanks grandma for all your help.
