Happy March!

I don't want to jinx myself, but on Friday Logan started taking naps again! :) since then, we've had 2 hour naps each day. Hurray!! That really made for an awesome Friday; we were already having such a fun day playing with his Legos and cars and doing crafts that having a nap time really topped off an already great morning. Plus, Blake happened to be sleeping at the same time too!!

We went house hunting yesterday and think we found "the" house to rent. It is a lot like our old house, ironically! Guess we just like that style. Another blue two story, built one year before our old house, 3 bedrooms + an office, screened porch, and fenced backyard. Nowhere near as nice as our old backyard, but perfect for the kids and Remy. The neighborhood is older, but it's gated and also has a small community swimming pool. We sent in the papers tonight so hopefully tomorrow we find out if we got approved. I'm so excited to be in a house again! It's located in the heart of Wellington, just a few miles from the Scott's Place playground, city aquatics center, and mall.

Pumping update: still pumping four times a day, and in my effort to slowly drop a session I managed to get mastitis again. I really have the worst luck with that. The doctor prescribed Dicloxacillan to clear it up. So anyways, yesterday was supposed to be my last day of taking this pesky antibiotic (remembering to take a pill four times a day really sucks!). I took my last dose at 11pm before I headed to bed. I noticed my ear was a little itchy before I went to bed but didn't really think much of it. At 6am this morning I woke up itching all over. Literally everywhere on my body felt like it was burning up with itchiness, it was nuts. I took a look at my arms and legs but didn't see any hives, just redness all over. I was a little worried but figured that if I was having an allergic reaction to something, at least it was just itching so far.

As the morning progressed, things got itchier. I noticed that my ear was very red, puffy and swollen (that explains the itching last night!) and my face was starting to itch and swell around my eye and both sides of my chin. I started to panic a little bit and had Daniel take me to the ER (doesn't it seem like anything serious always happens on a weekend or holiday? Ugh). They gave me a steroid shot and some Benadryl while I was there, and sent me home with a bunch of prescriptions for other stuff. Thankfully the steroid shot immediately brought the swelling down. Whew! What a way to start out a morning.

So now I get to add all of the drugs in the penicillin family to my allergy list. Between that and my allergy to ibuprofen, I've managed to knock out a whole slew of meds. I've always had a low tolerance for drugs; taking Vicodin after my wisdom teeth surgery gave me hallucinations and the inability to remember anything anyone said to me. Even Tylenol terrifies me a little bit after my bout with ibuprofen. Looking like Hitch after he ate those spicy foods on his date is not exactly on my fun list! ;)

Oh, and Blake has been smiling for a little bit now, but he has just turned into quite the smiley guy! He is so stinkin cute, such a happy baby. Can't wait to see what his personality is like! Pretty laid back so far, I'm interested to see if that sticks...
