Hey sure...why not?

Why not just throw another thing in?

So, finally, Grace is feeling "better." She's still irritable, but at least manageable. She's not throwing up or having diarrhea. In fact, yesterday she ate and ate (probably to make up for what she hasn't eaten the past week), and played practically all day.

Justice was doing fine...

Then, I go to put new clothes and diaper on him this morning.... and he's broken out in hives all over!

WHAT?!

Alright. Let's take him in to the doctor. AGAIN. We've been in at least 3-4 times this week! 

He's acting fine and chipper. He eats just fine and everything thing checks out normal, except that he's got red blotches all over his skin.

The Doc checks him over... and tells me he's allergic to cefprozil. 

Ah, heck. Why not?

Cut him off the antibiotic, give him benydril. 

Poor babes. They've had a heck of week.

Can I PLEASE go on our anniversary vacation now?!!!

Moving and Rotavirus

It's been a while since I have posted. AND there are reasons why!

I feel like life keeps on speeding along, dragging us along with it if we don't move fast enough to keep up. And dragging we have. There never seems to be enough time in the day. I sit and think... "Is it good to have so much to do? Isn't life more about living and less about doing?"

Now, we can take that to mean WAY too much. Thinking that we don't have obligations or even be self centered about it. But, really, how many social obligations do we tangled up in and drive ourselves down.... just for the sake of etiquette and social standing?  

Maybe nobody understands. Whatever. IT IS my blog.

Anyway. We've been running around like a mad-man. Trying to move to another apartment, attend graduations and graduation parties, along with work and finally.... sick kids.

Yes. Grace is sick.

She's getting over rotavirus right now. We had two nights of her throwing up and we decided to take her in to the doctors. Of course, we had to miss like 4 graduation parties and slow down.... but I guess that's okay, right?  We got to baby our babies...

At first we thought she had a viral flu...only to find out that she had rotavirus. Google it on the internet. But, basically there is nothing to treat it but to let it run it's course. Which is vomiting, diarrhea, and very low immunity. 

So, Grace has been hanging out. Watching "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" (definitely not a 4 star movie) and snacking on saltine crackers and drinking pedialyte. Fun. Fun. 

Justice has been extra hyper: throwing food/toys/random items from around the house. His favorite activity is to stand on something...to fall down and cry to mommy. He plays and steals Grace's toys. Oh the joys of being 1 1/2.

And life keeps on chugging along, taking us along with it. I just want to stop once in a while, get off, and stretch my legs...
