(no subject)

I think I'm starting to feel better. I know it will hit again hard at the end of the month, because that always happens at the end of October and beginning of November. But for right now I think I'm starting to feel a bit better. I finally have somewhat of a sex drive again. It's not back to normal (which means a major sex drive rivaling that of an 18-year-old boy lol) but it's a lot better. I went home for lunch today, and spent it having sex with Jenny instead of having lunch haha. That's the best kind of lunch break. For sureTonight we're having Date Night. I wish I could just have my mom take the kids for the whole night, but it's a school night. We prefer Evan to stay home on school nights. I think it's best for kids to stick to a certain routine. It's just easier for everyone that way. But she's watching them until right before Evan's bed time (9ish) so at least that gives us time for more than dinner. I'm hoping to spend the rest of the time in bed with Jenny haha. But we'll see!

Oh, I forgot to mention this before. Ella appears to be allergic to penicillin. She broke out in hives on Friday on her forehead, a little across her nose and cheeks, and on the back of her neck and the very top of her back. We couldn't figure out what caused it, but they went away as quickly as they came on. So we figured she was fine. She was acting perfectly happy. Then it happened again yesterday, but worse this time. It happened while I was at work. So Jenny took her to the doctor and the doctor said she thinks it must have been the Amoxicillin she was on. I wonder why it took a few days for her to have a reaction to it. I would've thought it would cause a reaction much sooner, but the doctor said that sometimes there's a delayed reaction to allergens. She started taking the Amoxicillin on Tuesday and didn't have any signs of an allergic reaction until Friday, then not again until yesterday. Weird. I need to read up on medication allergies. At least it was a mild allergic reaction and not really serious like anaphylaxis or something. Jenny is allergic to Augmentin, but not to any other antibiotics. She's fine with Amoxicillin, penicillin, and all of those. It's pretty scary to know that your baby has an allergy like that, because it could potentially be really dangerous. So I'm really glad she's ok.

Edit: Oh wow, poor little Ella's hives are really bad now. I guess they have been since late last night but I didn't see the extent of it because Jenny got her ready for bed last night, and this morning before I went to work she was wearing pajamas that covered her all up. Our morning routine is that I get Evan ready for school and drop him off on my way to work, and Jenny feeds Ella and stuff in the morning. Sometimes we switch and sometimes we mix it up. But I didn't change her this morning. Jenny did, so I didn't see. Ella has hives all over her body. They cover her from head to toe. Her cheeks are bright pink with big blotchy hives, and her whole body is seriously entirely consumed by red dots and blotches. Some of the blotches are surprisingly big. The doctor said it will probably take a few days to go away. Poor thing. They don't seem to be bothering her much though.

Oh good, Jenny is FINALLY ready to go. She takes so long to get ready. Now we'll only have like an hour of alone time after dinner. So maybe we'll just save the other stuff for tonight after the kids go to bed so we can have as long as we want to. Or maybe both haha. But ok, now it's seriously time to go.
