So, as I posted last week Bella has been getting eaten up by mosquitoes.
We are working on eradicating that. WELL one bit her on her EYELID last night. Now she looks like she got sucker punched. Poor thing!

This was last week



You can see the poor little bites on her face and hand. x( NOW she has one on her eye. Back to the doc we go. And a bug man is coming over tomorrow. I can't have this. Summer hasn't even really started. The damn pesky mosquitoes only get worse.

1. Oh no! Poor little baby.
BabyG has been getting attacked horribly bad. I think I'm going to get a mister because the tiki's and the candles aren't doing the trick.

4. They are attacking her while asleep at night. I am getting a net for her
bed, Skin So Soft (doctor thought it might help), and whatever else seems like it will work. As long as it isn't harmful to Bella. Mosquitoes are satan. Yes they are.

6. There are also some good natural skeeter repellants -- get the net for sure
You can get them online, and at a camping store.

We're also waiting for the Biker Baby outfit.

3. If I could get redneck on the mosquitoes, I would!
I don't like being eaten up myself, but I can handle it. Poor little delta kitten doesn't even know what the hell happened. And they only touch her. I have no bites on me nor does my husband! Little asshole bugs.

5. You can go Skeeternoodling
Poor thing. And, you can't even dose her with toxic DEET-based repellant.

7. That would be awesome! I'll take the hits for my gal!
I did find this all natural repellant. Not sure how well it actually works though. As you can see not very well. I don't put it on her face though.

9. I read somewhere that mosquitoes are attracted to the hemoglobin
in infant blood. Not sure how accurate that is, but it sure seems true in Bella's case. Some people do attract them more. My husband and I can both be sitting outside, and he will be getting attacked, and I won't have seen one. It is weird like that.

12. Awww! Thanks!
I hate these damn bug bites. I may not can control her picking up some kind of bug or virus, but I feel like I can control this. I will do anything for my baby girl. :hug:
