Sleepy Little Ones / UTI or Yeast Infection?

Dear Evie and Fi,


You both were so clingy to me when you woke up this morning. Fi was still so sleepy when Dada took her to the living room. I gave you your milk, but you wanted me more than your milk. You fell back to sleep in my arms while I sat on the couch. I think you're too tired after not having your regular naps yesterday. Your swollen gum from your teething is bothering you a lot. It's keeping you awake and cranky everytime we put you in your crib.

Evie, right after you got up, you curled yourself next to me while I was holding Fi. You too were tired. After you had your milk, you went back to sleep again and woke up at 9. You two were just too exhausted this morning and just wanted to be held by Mama.

Meanwhile, I like the fact that you both like to eat frozen grapes. We call them "candy grapes." Better snacks than animal crackers or oreos. Because of how much you like them, we ran out of frozen grapes. Among the frozen fruits I made, grapes were your favorite. :)

I love you with all of me,
Mama

Dear Evie,

We went to the doctor after office hours. You're in pain when you pee. You complained twice this afternoon.

I tried to make you pee in the sample container at the doctor's office, and you were screaming. Not because it was painful, but because you were scared it gets painful when you pee. We tried for like 5 minutes and nothing happened. Dada tried, and it was successful. I think I was pressuring you a lot, that's why you were not able to pee. Dada did a great job as he was able to make you pee.

They examined your pee and the nurse practitioner wouldn't say it it's UTI until your pee sample gets into a laboratory testing. He also thought that it could be yeast infection. He told us to avoid taking a bath. He said that soaking in the tub specially with bubble bath is not good for girls. You've been taking a bath almost everyday lately. What you have could be yeast infection. We will find it out in few days when the result gets back from the lab. For now, we will do the medication that was prescribed to you and everything will be alright. I am sorry this happened. When things like this happens, I feel like I am a failure. I do not want you to get sick or in any pain. This could have been avoided. So for the meantime, no more bath time for you and Fi. You can still take a bath but not sooner and not as much anymore. You will feel better. I will take care of you.

I love you with all of me,
Mama
