Fun Weekend and First Day working of tax season
This weekend was so fun! Sue, my friend from BC from my online scrapbook message board came to stay with us. We made cards at a card class (check out my teacher's blog at http://www.mukibug.com/) then Saturday we cropped all day (scrapbooked) in Renton, including a field trip to the Scrapbook Nook, with dinner at 5 Guys Burgers & Fries, then Sunday afternoon I took a scrapbook class with Nona Pearl of CTMH.
While in Renton Saturday, I stopped by IKEA to see if they had two more of my dining room chairs, since we'll have 5 family members as of this summer. NONE! They discontinued them TWO weeks ago! But Sue went to her IKEA today and found the last two for me AND they were on sale, so they were only the US price! Wahoo!!!
Today was my first day of work for tax season. I was supposed to get there at 9am to sign paperwork, etc. We left at 7:45, dropped Carter off at school, then Henri and I carpooled to Bellevue to drop him off at daycare and I got at my desk at 8:45. Tomorrow they head to my mom's... I'm hoping to leave here by 6:15, with kids in pajamas and a bag of clothes for them to change into!
Both kids did great. In fact, Carter was excited to see his friends, Harry & Danny from last year's class at before/after care.

Henri's... er... non-allergy
The allergist tested for allergies to oats, eggs, crab, shrimp, almond, walnut, pecan, peanuts, soybeans and chocolate and came up with nothing.
Due to how long the hives last, her current suspicion is that it is not an allergy at all, rather some virus stuck in his system that activates the immune system every 4 weeks or so into hives.
Her recommendation was to take Zyrtec for a month, then stop it and see if the hives come back. We're currently considering the recommendation and trying to figure out if we want to do that or just see what happens.

I'm having a baby. ONE baby.
So after my MOPs group predicted triplets and my grandmother keeps telling me twins "run in the family" (you know, like 15 times removed) we are definitely having ONE baby. Lucky me, my uterus tips forwards making it easy to hear baby's heartbeat. There's one heartbeat, I'm having close to zero morning sickness, and I have gained no weight. Dr. is 100% sure we are having one baby. That's the good news.
The not so good news is that because I had blood pressure issues with both prior pregnancies, Henri was really petite and my blood pressure hasn't ever really gone down since Henri, I'm already on blood pressure meds AND baby aspirin.
The bright side of that is I get lots of ultrasounds to measure growth and won't have to be pregnant a full 40 weeks (bad: I won't be able to go to my annual scrapbook retreat weekend).
I go back in 4 weeks.

Henri's allergy...
Henri broke out in hives again. The third time in about 2 months. So, today after MOPs we headed back ot the Dr. who had just seen Henri last Monday for his one year appointment. She was glad I had brought him in so she could see them and agreed they were hives and wrote a note that they are not contagious for the daycare he'll be at when I start work on February 1st.
She sent us over across the street to the hospital to draw blood and they will do tests on the blood, which may be back as early as Monday. If the blood tests do not point towards the problem, we will be heading to an allergist.
So poor Henri is spotted, tired (it's 1pm... WAY past his 10am naptime and he was up 3 times last night) and hungry (an hour past lunch) as well as has a sore arm.
She also recommended going in to comfort him at night and have him get himself back to sleep and thinks this may get him to sleep through the night soon, especially since he can already put himself to sleep for naps and at night.
