I DO feel your pain..... we are in some financial binds right now too and it just seems sometimes like you will never get over that hump. Hang in there. I can say all the usual things that you hear but you've probably heard it all. You'll get past this, I promise.
Sounds like you may have the costume problem taken care of so the other thing that really jumped out at my in your post was the poor baby's diaper rash problem. One word for you.... AQUAPHOR!! I swore by that stuff when mine were babies and gave it to all expectant mothers at baby showers. It's sold in smaller tubes or a big tub. I bought a big tub of it when my first-born was a baby and you know, we just recently used it up (mine are now 10 & 12!!). It not only can heal diaper rash within a day usually, but is also great for face rashes (when the drooling starts or during cold weather). If you don't see it on the shelf, ask the pharmacist. They use it for bases in a lot of medicines. It looks like Vaseline but is actually a medicated ointment. Please try that if you haven't already!
