We had an unplanned doctor's visit today.
Gotta love when the daycare number pops up on my office phone in the middle of the day. Miss Lourdes explained as delicately as possible that Jonathan had red spots and a blister on his...diaper area. That's not what she said, but I'll spare you the details.
Apparently he had been fussy and refusing to sit upright all day long due to the discomfort.
He did not have any redness when I had changed his diaper this morning - but of course I felt like a complete idiot of a mom. Like, the daycare ladies have to be saying to each other, "How could she not have seen this developing? So neglectful. Tsk tsk."
So off to the doctor we went. Diaper rash and a possible staph infection were the diagnoses.
I know how serious staph infections can be, so we'll hopefully nip this in the bud quickly, and ideally without me having a panic attack about it.
It's been seven hours since we got home and I still haven't Googled, so that's good.
