The Rash-Part 1

I love being a Momma to my nugget but no one told me that sometimes it is shitty to be a parent..... Yes I said shitty because that's the truth

Since December 9th I have been to the doctor 6 times and we have his well check up on Monday so that is 7 times in one month!!!!

He got the flu so I took him in to make sure he was not dehydrated. Then we had his ENT appointment. Then he had pink gunky eyes so back to the doctor we went on Friday (and those 3 were all within a week). They put him on amoxicillin and said that he had an ear infection and that would take care of his pink eye too.

By the next Thursday his eyes were glassy and his nose was so stuffed he could no breath out of it.

James who is my favorite at the office said that Grayson may have an immunity to amoxicillin so we tried a different antibiotic.

Here is where the rash comes in.

He got a dose on Thursday and Friday along with eye drops for the pink eye.

Saturday morning I woke up to a different baby. He was super needy and just clingy all day. He slept until 8:30 which my kid never does. Around 11 I was changing his diaper and I noticed it. I red dot rash all over his feet. so I freaked and thought oh no hand, food and mouth. I checked his hands and they were clear so then I looked at his back and stomach and it was covered in red bumps too. I called the on-call doctor and they said to stop the antibiotic immediately and to give him baby benadryl. I got him down for a nap around 11:30 and he slept until 3!!! 3 1/2 hours never happens at my house. He woke up a little bit better but the rash was still there. We had some running around to do so we took him with us because he seemed fine, we were under a storm warning so we wanted to go and get it done and over with just in case something happened. 

Let me say that if you tell a parent BABY benadryl they will go to 3 stores looking for BABY benadryl. After the third store and nothing I asked a pharmacist and they informed me there is no such thing and that I would have to give him children's. Fun fact they had children's at all 3 stores I was at.

We got nugget love home and gave him a dose of benadryl and prayed that he would sleep through the night, because the needy monster was back in full force.

He did but we didn't more on that in How we survived an ice storm.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
