Allergies, Moby Wrap and Outdoor Fun!

My allergies have been ruthless! I just want to claw my eyes out and rip off my nose!! I have had seasonal allergies since I was eight years old. Living with them for almost 20 years, I have been on every medication out there. Each springtime you will see another new commerical on tv advertizing a new allergy medication because most people (and if you're like ME) will build a fast tolerance to the medicine. So what worked last year - doesn't work this year! Being pregnant - my options are very slim! I have been taking the generic brand of zrytec which is a preventive, meaning you have to get into your system before it starts doing its job. And when you have a bad attack - this isn't going to immediately fight it. (That's where you need a Benadryl). These meds needs to be taken every morning and every night. I don't like taking 2 pills a day for my allgeries when I am pregnant. But if you have never had them... you have NO idea!

Lately, even this medicine isn't cutting it. I don't know what's going on with the pollen/trees/grass, but it's horrible! That irritating itch behind your nose that feels like a sneeze is approaching... just lingers and lingers and is impossible scratch! That past few years haven't been that terrible (and believe me, I have a high tolerance to allergy irriatation) but this week has gotten me down! UGH!

Enough complaining....

A few days ago my new Moby Wrap arrived in the mail! Sweet Melinda sold me her gently used cream colored wrap and I can't wait to start practicing with it. The weight limit is 35 lbs, which is just crazy for me to think I could carry Jackson in it LOL Thanks Melinda!

More exciting things for us... I was in the market for hitting the rummages this spring for outdoor play toys for Jackson. This year will be quite a bit different than last year because he just sat on a blanket last summer. My neighbor had told me that I would really need to keep an eye out for those rummages advertising slides and sandboxes because those items are hot ticket. Low and behold - over Easter my mother in law gave us the outdoor play equipment that she had gotten from a rummage sale a few years prior. She had purchased them at an awesome deal for our nephews but they have out grown the toys. So this Sunday I spent a few mins cleaning them up. What's the point in purchasing these items at full price in the store when they just get beaten up and weathered? I am so happy to have something for Jackson to play with now!
