Sicky

This last week has been a hard one for us at our home. The kids have been battling a nasty cough (Carter more so) that we think we caught from our trip to the pool. Then, a few nights ago, Carter woke up at 1:30am and he hardly EVER wakes up in the middle of the night. I can't even remember the last time he did before this. Anyway, he screamed pretty much until 8:30 that morning. I thought maybe his congestion was bothering him and caused him to wake up. He continued to fuss and would wake up from a deep sleep and cry so I decided to take him to the doctor. I couldn't get an appointment until 3:10 and I didn't know how I was going to make it until then but luckily Carter slept a bit. Brittany and Cody offered to watch Landon which made it alot easier for me. Thanks you guys! I didn't have to wait long at the doctors office so I was grateful. As I was driving to the doctors I kept wondering if he maybe was just teething but I'm glad I listened to my mothers intution. Turns out poor little guy had a temperature that was 101. something and an ear infection in his right ear. I KNEW something was wrong because he just seemed like he was in such pain. . He was given an antibotic and is doing a lot better now. He is not fully himself yet but has improved so much from the day I took him in. He was such a zombie and just staring-it broke my heart! The doctor recommened a humitifier for the cough so we got one that night. So now Carter is improving and Landon's nose is running NON STOP. It's seriously like a faucet. I was so tired from getting up with Carter that I laid in bed and Landon was watching his movie from the library-Mulan. He loves that movie so much. Anyway, he kept bringing me the smallest peices of toilet paper to wipe his nose. He was cracking me up. Another reason I was so tired was because I got what I thought was an allergic reaction to a spider bite (yesterday) and took Benadryl to try and get rid of them. It made me drowsy so I took a nap when Chris got home from work. I went to sleep around 2am and it seemed like the baby woke up every hour after that. Chris has been working an early shift so of course it's just me gettingup. Well today, I start to feel REALLY itchy again. I took a look at my leg and knew something was wrong. Either our apartment was infested with 1048575 kinds of bugs or something was seriously wrong. I ripped all of our sheets and blankets off the bed and was planning on doing all of our laundry when the itching continued to get worse. I felt itchy from head to toe. I ended up going to an Instant Care place and I was told I had hives and was given two types of medication. I left feeling kind of annoyed because they could not tell me what it was from. I have not eaten anything different or changed my laundry detergent-nothing. It just came out of the blue. The below photo is not my arm but it is what the back of my legs and bottom looked like. The rest of my legs were a blotchy red.

Gross huh?
