Bugs and Other things

Off to bed but before I go, a few updates. Beautiful weather outside means less time at the computer inside... so a slight delay in blogger posts. We have been going on a lot of walks, Abby tagging along pushing her little pink stroller with either a doll inside or 'baby Elmo.' We also FINALLY got some weed killer/turf builder down on the lawn and amazing... I hope it means our lawn will look nicer longer. So we got some yard work done, Abby got a new set of play toys for outside (lol as if she needed more) and I started reorganizing the basement so that there is a designated play area. I think it will work great considering our living room was getting overwhelmed with toys lately.

There are a lot of projects that I have on the "To Do" list. It's nice to get a few of them marked off. Tom asked me if I was nesting... I told him "Yep due any day" hahahaha.... no it's called SPRING cleaning... I'm in the mood to declutter and improve things around the house and it's hard to do alone. So when I have an extra body to help with crying babies then I jump at the chance to get things done. I need to fold the laundry on our bed but I feel like it may end up on tomorrow's list. 


Speaking of crying babies my poor Abby had an allergic reaction to something. We are guessing it was some type of bug but her right eye was swollen up and purple/red and she had welts the size of silver dollars on her arms. And it wasn't just the welts... I knew something was wrong when she kept crying and crying and crying and crying. So as soon as I figured it out, and got her on Benedryl every 4-6 hours things seemed a little better. Ugh I wish I caught on to when she wasn't feeling well better! I try so hard to but sometimes it's just so hard to know. Today was the second day and finally tonight it was starting to go down. The picture below is a lot better than what it looked like before! It was almost swollen shut this morning and dark purple,red.  It concerns me that she had such a reaction to something and I don't know what it was... mostly because the first reaction isn't the worst... subsequent reactions could be much worse. Hopefully it's nothing but I will keep a closer eye on her while she is playing outside. It just didn't really show up until 2-4 hours after she was out playing. Who knows.... The nurse I talked to said it would take about two days to get better. I hope tomorrow is easier for her!


So we didnt go to church this morning. But if you were at my house this morning you would understand why. 

Tom and I got a chance to go out on a date tonight. My brave mother and sister babysat while we went out to a movie and had supper. It was amazingly nice. We even got asked if we were over 21 which shocked both of us. We didn't even want to sample the wine. I was so upset with the service I would have walked out except that Tom had ordered a soda and I didn't want to mess with paying for it. We just ordered the soup, salad and breadsticks and it took them forever to get it to us! I hate it when the waiters/waitresses make it seem like you are an inconvenience to their social life. Seriously awful service! But outside of that Tom and I had a lot of fun. :) Abby was a little sad when my mom brought the girls back to our house and we hadn't gotten home yet. Tom read her a few stories and sang a few bedtime songs with her and she was feeling much better. I'm sure she was just over tired and had played hard at my mom's house. Hard to believe her birthday is in two days! Can't wait to celebrate it :)

Well time for bed!
