a rough road for susannah

I would post a picture, but poor susannah is a bit unsightly right now. She just had her 3rd visit to the doctor in the last two weeks and turns out she seems to have a penicillin allergy (she was given amoxicillin to combat the ear infection that came along with the roseola). Anyway, a few days after the roseola rash cleared up she broke out in a new rash that has progressed into hives that cover her body if you catch her at a particularly bad moment. the poor dear is having quite a rough time right now - not to mention that the antibiotics didn't clear out her ear infection. So, she is taking a nice cocktail of benedryl and tylenol and now has drops to numb her ear pain. It is amazing that she has any spunk left in her, but she still managed to jump on the table with all the crinkly paper at the doctor's office - she loves doing that!

In more fun news, we had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and beanie looks great! A little chunkier than susannah was at 20 weeks - perhaps a boy???? we left that a surprise for late september : )
