Moving .... {+ a sick baby}

February 24th 2012

It's official!

We are moving to a new place!

We're still going to be in the town we're at now...

but in a cute little townhouse instead of an apartment.

We are beyond excited.

There have been lots of little things that have bothered us over the year and a half that we've been here in these apartments.

{raised rent...no yard...loud street...noisy neighbors...etc.}

Now, we're going to be in a quiet little neighborhood with a small yard and quiet neighbors.

{yay... and a little happy dance too. smile}

So.... our apartment right now looks a little like this...

and the pile just keeps growing and growing...

But at least I'm sorting through things and getting rid of stuff.

I LOVE that feeling!

In all of this chaos, though... Eithan has been under the weather.

Last week we took him to the doctor for his normal check-up, 

and we found out he had an ear infection. 

We started him on Amoxicillin.

Eithan loves taking medicine, so it was no problem getting him to take this.

But....

On Wednesday {2-22-12} he had a little rash on his legs that then moved to his chest and neck

And today...

{you can see it's on his face too}

In spite of this rash... he is still a happy go-lucky little boy.

He is playing and destroying things like normal.

He's not itching himself, he's not acting like he's ill at all.

One word: amazing.

Collin and I keep doting on him and trying to comfort him because he looks like he is sooo uncomfortable... but he is actually doing OK.

We finally took him back to the doctor today... and now he is on Benedryl and a Steroid to help with the swelling/inflammation/histamine reaction.

We are fairly certain that he is having a reaction to the Amoxicillin, but he may be having a reaction to red dye {it's in the amoxicillin}... we've had him react to red dye before... so we're uncertain.

But now... he will always be classified as allergic to Amoxicillin.

Yay... our First Allergy. 

{In case you can't tell... I'm being sarcastic here... We're not really excited.}

Well... that's what's been happening in our little realm.

I'll post some pictures of the new place once we get a little settled.

Wish us luck with cleaning, moving, and taking care of Eithan!
