Oh my..what a life!
She's not sticking out her tongue in this picture above, but when she does it looks like a white cloudy mess. We thought it was a milk stain at first, but when it was swabbed with a Q-tip it didn't budge. Gross!!! So this was a good indicator that she has thrush.
For those who don't know, thrush is an overgrowing of yeast in her mouth, similar to a yeast infection, ladies. Ewww!! It was most likely caused by a bout of antibiotics she had to take a few weeks ago and probably the cause of her crazy diaper rash a few weeks back as well. Because Jen has been working on dry breastfeeding with Kalista, it means she has to get checked out too and make sure she is not carrying this crazy yeast. Oh my, if it's not one thing, it's another.
Kalista has to take a medication called Nystatin to treat the thrush. It is a lovely yellow liquid that smells like Robitussin cough syrup (original flavor, not grape) and gets swabbed every six hours over her gums, cheeks and tongue. It doesn't taste good, from what we hear, but Kalista doesn't seem to mind.
Kalista is tipping the scales.
We decided to take advantage of her heavy deep sleep and give her a manicure. She didn't have a clue what we did, but wanted to show everyone what a great job her parents did.
No folks...we are not teaching her gang signs! She learned them on her own from the other babies. Such bad influences!
Dad wanted to show off his beautifully manicured nails as well. How pretty!!!
We just got updated that our friends Melissa and Donny just had a baby boy. (If you two are reading this...Congratulations!!!) Could this be Kalista's future boyfriend??? Hmmmm...
