Last Monday, Kip woke-up with hives. We had no clue what they were from. They faded in an hour but I took him to the doctor anyways since we had just started solids and was unsure if it was a food allergy. Dr. Karen couldn't pinpoint anything but said to proceed with caution and avoid the big food allergy culprits (eggs, peanuts, fish). The rest of the week seemed fine but both Mandy and I think it may be connected to bananas.
Ugh. So stressful.
Also on Monday, cousin Kourtney came over to visit!
She brought Kippy some new bibs which he loves.
We had some really lovely warm days last week which I didn't get to enjoy since I was stuck in the office and I don't feel like I can take extra breaks on top of my pumping so I just dreamed of spring. The warm weather was short lived and we had rain and cold most of the weekend.
On Thursday our Super came through the apartment to finish putting bars on the window (legally required if you have kids under 12). He also tested some spots of chipped paint on some door frames. They tested positive for lead paint which I was NOT surprised by but he was since he thought our landlord had removed all the lead. Anyways, the presence of lead paint is a problem especially for a baby and the risk of him ingesting it. So, we have to wait to find out how they will take care of that. Luckily, Kip isn't mobile yet and we've already got plans in place to keep him in safe spaces once he starts crawling. But, yeah, that needs to be taken care of.
I've been getting clogged milk ducts the last few weeks and it is so stressful. I have to work really hard to get them out and the one I got on Wednesday is still hanging on. It's hard to tell if it's just tender and sore or if it's still there. I live in fear of mastitis.
Mandy didn't stay the weekend since she had a hair appointment and we didn't go to NJ so Dan and I hung around with Kip. We walked to go get crepes for brunch on Saturday and played the rest of the day.
I also got like half my hair chopped off. I lost so much hair after the pregnancy and I wanted something easy to maintain. It's shorter than I asked for (as usual) but I don't hate it so that's a plus.
On Sunday, I had my service team so we got to church early so Kip could sleep in the car. He also ended up sleeping through the service as well which was SO NICE. I hadn't been able to sit in the service for the sermon since before he was born so that was an unexpected treat.
Grocery shopping and laundry the rest of the day.
I'm sad the Olympics are over. I really enjoyed the celebratory TV watching. Now Dan and I are on Netflix and Amazon binge watching spree tracking down all documentaries about athletic doping. Very fascinating.
Spending the day with Kippy! Have a happy Monday.
