Rolling Over and Diaper Rash

We had a good weekend with my parents and sister! My parents got into Terre Haute around 3p on Friday after taking a motorcycle trip to Texas, then up through Arkansas, and back to Indiana. I am so grateful that they had stayed in Joplin, Missouri on their way down to Texas last weekend, and weren't there last night since Joplin had a devastating tornado go through. We got to look at pictures from their trip, and it looks like they had a great time, and looks like it will be a fun family trip if we can all swing it at the same time!

Grandma and Grandpa Brodzinski all dressed up and ready to go to the wedding in Texas.

I added this picture because 2 Dallas Cowboys (Bobby's favorite team) players are in it. The guy with the orange tie in the middle is Jason Witten (receiver) and the guy with the blue shirt and tie is Marc Colombo (lineman).

Another player from the Cowboys (Drew Henson) who my mom didn't even know of, but drug him out of his taxi to get his picture...haha

The playset at their cabin they stayed at in Arkansas. They said it would be a perfect place for Natalie :)

Friday we had a co-ed softball game, so my parents watched Natalie while we played. She was good the whole time and enjoyed cheering on her mommy and daddy:) We won, so that's good since it was the first game of the season for the hospital league.  After the game, we met Matt and Amanda for dinner at Mogger's, which was really good and we all had a great time. Natalie is so spoiled! Grandma and Grandpa bought her clothes, as did Auntie Amanda. She got a neon green Harley dress that she'll be able to wear this summer and a onesie that says "Little Stinker" with a cute skunk and paw prints on her butt. Story behind the "Little Stinker" onesie is because one of the first texts I sent my parents after Natalie was born said she was such a stinker because the lactation consultant couldn't even get her to latch.   Amanda bought her a really cute outfit (see in pictures) with an interesting wrap around shirt and a pretty pink dress from a store she has been dying to buy something from for as long as I can remember. Of course, Grandma and Auntie Amanda played dress up with Natalie just to see everything on her. She can basically wear everything right now but the Harley dress, but has some room to grow in all the others as well.

Cute outfit Auntie Amanda got her.

The weather was beautiful this weekend in Terre Haute, summerlike. On Saturday, us girls (minus Natalie), went to see the movie 'Bridesmaids' while Grandpa babysat Natalie, Matt drove back to Indy, and Bobby worked from home. The original intention was the girls were going to bond while the guys did the same, but as you can see, that didn't happen. Oh well!

After the movie, our realtor had called me about possibly going to see a couple of houses he came across, so while Grandma babysat Natalie, Bobby, my dad, Amanda, and me all took a drive to see the 2 houses. The first house was really nice, but on a horrible lot that was definitely not functional for kids since the backyard was basically an upward hill and the front was a downward hill. The 2nd house was much farther south and was pretty crappy. Then, we drove my dad and sister to go see the house I love with the awesome backyard with inground pool, but I'll only be dreaming about that one because Bobby is pretty adamant that he doesn't want it. At least the one he really liked that I thought was a 'dump' with potential, he got a bad feeling about so we aren't going to get that one either.  My opinion is we should just put a lowball offer on the one I really like and just see what happens. I'm so sick of this househunting game, mostly because Bobby and I NEVER agree on any of them! It's getting really frustrating and annoying.

We wound up at Sam's Club before heading home and it was taste-testing day, so we basically all had a light meal before heading home to grill out. We had Rebekah (our neighbor) and her mom over for dinner as well, but the bugs and mosquitos were awful! Eventually had to take Natalie inside because they were so bad. I got bit on my ear and behind my ear, while everyone else got bit up as well.

Sunday, my parents headed home early in the morning to avoid getting stuck in the rain on their bikes (which they did avoid), Matt came down shortly after my parents left to pick up Amanda and their dog to go back to Indy, Natalie and I took a nap, and Bobby started working in the yard. After my nap, I started outside to trim everything in the front of our house since it was looking like a jungle with all the rain we've had. It looks a ton better, now just have to lay down some mulch. Bobby got the little pond and gutters in order in the backyard.

While we were in the yard working, Natalie napped. I laid her on her back, but by the time we got back into the house, she had gotten herself onto her stomach. She has been doing this more often, where we won't find her in the position we left her, especially in a position that she would have had to rolled over to get into. However, she is very shy about rolling over with an audience because were have yet to actually see her roll over, until last night. I got up to feed her around 3:30am or so (I really wish she would get back to sleeping through the night because that was so much nicer!). While I was pumping after she ate and got changed, I looked over in the crib and noticed she had rolled herself over. After pumping, I rolled her back onto her back and just watched her because she was trying her darndest to roll to her left. I was recording it, but then she slowed down and the video was getting to be too long, so I stopped the video and guess what!?  She rolled over right after I stopped recording, but at least I finally got to see it!  She basically tries and tries until she eventually flings her body over. I was so happy to finally get to see it happen and not see her after she does it!

About a week ago, she started getting diaper rash from wearing Huggies (she had gotten diaper rash when in newborn Huggies as well), so I switched her into Pampers Sensitive, but that cleared it up some, but then it seemed to come back again. I have put different creams on her as well, and let her "air out" yesterday with nothing on, but she still has it. I even switched to Pampers Baby Dry as well to see if that would help, but still has it. It isn't getting any worse, and I am hoping it gets better soon. Poor girl, I know it can't feel good!
