Let's start with the good! Grammie and Poppa Warren came out to visit!
We got a chance to go to the Washington DC Temple and seal some of my father in laws
family together.
Then we headed south to the Outer Banks to see some of our favorite places
like the Wright Brother memorial and to try something new and take a ferry ride back home.
While in Outer Banks we took some pictures and announced to everyone
about the new baby. I love this picture!
Then we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a little early with family in town.
It was nice to be with family for a week and have their love and support.
Now the UGLY... Sadly while family was in town Lil' Man had an ear infection.
We quickly got on medication and it seemed to clear up just fine.
But after everyone left and a week after we started the meds he had
an awful reaction to Amoxicillin. He swelled up and got a rash all over.
We ended up in the ER twice in two days. Thankfully CJ was able to be home and help, becasue
I could not handle lil man having to get an IV for fluids and medicine. Lil man did such a great job and handle it very well, he wanted to be held the entire time. It took two weeks for the rash to finally go away and a lot of cuddles and coconut oil and whatever he wanted to do to heal.
Finally the bad... Well we had to say see you later to Sailor hubby. I can't believe he is going on his second deployment and will miss a lot of growth between lil man and the new baby. We are nervous about the time alone but we are proud of who he is and all that he has accomplished!
We love you Hubby and wish you the safest deployment and return home!
It is not going to be easy to be with out our Sailor but we have plans to be with family as much as we can and lil man has told me he will be a good big brother and help while the baby is in mommies tummy. Should be an interesting next couple months.
