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.

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...

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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
