Gigi is 3 months old!

Here is a cute pic of Gigi in the boppy at 3 months. For those of you wondering if she inherited the "Bennett Butt," you'll like her onesie- it says "Does this diaper make my butt look big?"
At her 3-month doctors' appointment she weighed in at 11 pounds, 9 ounces, and thankfully she only had to get one shot!!This second photo is Gigi at San Onofre. Last Friday we had a fun day at the beach, taking turns surfing (the waves were super fun). Gigi slept most of the time, like she usually does at the beach. We're off to Bass Lake this evening to meet up with my family and some friends. It will be Gianna's first camping trip!

Diaper Rash Remedy!!

Just wanted to share a little secret for babies with red, sore tushies. Gigi had a pretty bad diaper rash last weekend and her doctor, Dr. Pauline Pepek, gave us a somewhat obscure but miraculous remedy!

Mix a 50/50 batch of 1% cortizone cream with Lotrimin (or generic) anti-athletes foot cream (I got a nifty little bottle from the travel section at Target to mix it in). It medicates the area nicely and then you cover the medication with your diaper rash ointment of choice (we use A&D, Buttpaste and/or Aquaphor) to seal the medication and block the pee/poop from the skin. After just a couple of applications at diaper changes, her rash almost completely disappeared [enter sigh of relief here]!

Week 28

David and I took our "condensed childbirth" class last week which was an all day affair. It was good- we learned a lot of details about the labor/delivery process, I got to have David practice massaging my back, we learned some breathing techniques and we watched a few videos that I could have done without. I see the nurse practitioner/midwife this week (my doctor is on maternity leave) and then after that I will start going to the doctor every 2 weeks! Crazy! It's going so fast!
