Many Moods of the Munchkin Megan

A Day in the Life

Mark just has the funniest photo ops. So I thought I would share.

Sunday naps

They giggle together- a lot. It love it.

At the park with friends. Sprinklers are great.

This is one of Mark's favorite friends- Lydia.

Mark in shades.

We are still waiting for the magical moment when he actually leaves something behind in the toilet. Until then it makes for a nice reading chair.

Itchy Itchy Itchy

So those of you that know me well will look at the following picture and say, "So Emily has a red face, what else is new?"

But this was no ordinary red face. Everything that is pink was violently itchy- like a peel off you skin for relief kind of itchy- and its not just on my face, my arms and torso are involved too.

A few days later I endured a five hour urgent care experience (we are not going back to that doctor) and was told that they had no idea what was happening. Because I am breastfeeding there was nothing they could give me, so they sent me home with the advice to avoid hot showers and use cortisone. Worth five hours and hundred or so dollars they'll make off the visit? I think not.

We began noticing that it only flared up when I a) hugged Mike or b) got in bed at night. My first thought was that I was allergic to my husband! Not a fun idea. But we now think that I was allergic to something that was on Mike that also got on his pillow and the sheets. After sleeping in the bed downstairs and doing loads and loads of laundry in very hot water the hives have died down to a small itchy patch every couple of days for a half hour or so.

What an experience!
