Halloween and such

So, last week was interesting. I think it was on Evoly's 3 mo. birthday, I went out dancing with Dad and Mom stayed home with baby. (this is going to get a little graphic for those of you with weak stomachs)She starting having these really green, slimy, SUPER stinky pooey (diarrhea) diapers. Then on the following Thursday, I was changing her diaper, as described above, but there was little spots of blood. I was home alone. Dad was at work, Mom was at book club. She left me her phone just in case I needed to get a hold of her...or order in lunch...(hehe). So I called her and told her what I found and she came straight home and we called her Dr. to get her in that day. While we were waiting for her appt., I changed three more diapers with blood in them. She didn't have a fever though. I wasn't freaked out because I knew she'd be ok, but I was a concerned that maybe I was missing something. We got her to the Dr., I told him what was going on and he just smiled and chuckled a little and said, "It's perfectly normal. It just happens to some baby's." (phew!!)...I guess?!?! He said it was probably just some little bacteria she picked up from sucking on her hands. The Dr. explained that the said bacteria may have just killed some of the good bacteria that line the intestines causing the lining to sluff off and thus causing the bleeding. He gave her a prescription that will give her more good bacteria to reline her intestines. She's been taking it for almost 5 days now. The diarrhea has slowed down, there is no more blood, and it doesn't smell near as bad, but it's still green...I don't know what to do about that...We'll have to make another trip to the Dr. I think.

Anyway, so, Halloween! Halloween...does not exist in Singapore...SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO We had our own little Halloween in the house. We dressed up...well we dressed Evoly up, and us in our Halloweeny shirts. We went to 7-11 and bought candy, and sat around and took pictures. Check out my pics! How was yours?

I so totally miss Virginia! I miss the cold, family, driving, and my husband. I wanna go home!

Something similar to that happened to Elaine. She had a little blood, nothing as much as Evoly but for her they said it could have been cause I was bleeding when she was eating and that is what I saw. Weird huh, well glad she isn't sick anymore.
