Hello, Monday!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and long weekend! Ours didn't go exactly how we had planned it to but such is life right?!

We were up bright and early on Thanksgiving morning so we could run the Skinny Turkey Half Marathon in Raleigh. It was a lot colder at the start than we expected but my goodness it was a beautiful course. Rolling hills through stunning neighborhoods. This is the first long distance race that Kyle and I both agreed that we didn't get bored with haha. There was so much to look at. He was pushing the stroller this time and we decided to just enjoy it. Not going to break any records but we were stoked to cross the finish line at 2:03. Almost a sub 2 hour half with a stroller, not too shabby at all! 

We stopped for our traditional post race Starbucks and headed home. I had done most of the meal prep the night before which was a huge help. 

However, this is where things turned not so fun. We noticed a pretty significant rash on E and around 3 we both agreed it would be best to take her to urgent care. She had been on amoxicillin for an ear infection the week before and the doctor determined it was a bad allergic reaction. Don't get me started on the doctor in October that said it wasn't an allergic reaction when she had the same exact rash after amoxicillin. She was given a steroid and the okay to go home. We enjoyed a quiet meal with just the 3 of us after a pretty stressful afternoon.

My Dad arrived Friday afternoon which is always nice! We love when he visits. E was definitely happy too. Unfortunately, on Saturday morning we noticed that E's rash was significantly worse so off to the ER we went. This doctor once again confirmed that it was an allergic reaction to amoxicillin, so on top of the steroid he gave us a cream and zantac to help with the itching. 

She was doing much better on Sunday so we spent quite a bit of time outside. Kyle had to work part of the day which was a bummer. 

My Dad is here for a few more days so we are going to soak up this time and just have a good time. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!
