Miranda's First Haircut

This week Matt has been watching Miranda and her friend Jack because thier babysitter has been sick.  Matt has really enjoyed himself doing this.  Today he had Miranda only because Jack started  to run a fever last night, so as a special outing Matt took Miranda to get her hair cut. She did such a great job in the process. Miranda looks so cute and grown up now. I am looking forward to Miranda's next big steps but kinda sad to see her growing up so quickly.

Oatmeal Bath

Things have been a little unfortunate for Miranda lately.  Two weeks ago she started to run a fever and tug at her ear, signs of an ear infection. Sure enough when we brought her in the doctor said she had a double ear infection and prescribed Amoxicillin. She also suggested we get an appointment for her to see an ENT.  Well after about 8 days on Amoxicillin, which was this past Wednesday, Miranda breaks out in a terrible rash head to toe.  This rash really scared me, I have never seen any rash spread as quickly as this one did. It started out as a few spots on her stomach then spread to hives covering her whole body and her ears were as red as a tomato.  We went to the doctor and found out that she is carrying out the Semanek family tradition of being allergic to penicillin. The doctor gave her benedryl and steroids to help control the rash. The rash has gotten some better but has not completely cleared up.  So today we decided to try the oatmeal bath to see if this would soothe her and help with the rash.  I think it is working some.  I have posted pictures here to give you an idea of what the rash is like. I am just praying it is gone by Monday, if not it looks like we may be making another doctor visit.

Update again

It has been a while since I have updated. This blogging thing is hard to keep up with.  Things have been pretty good since the last update.  I am secretly doing the Love Dare for Matt and its working well.  I went to a Womens Retreat with Southeast Church of Christ and it was wonderful.  Miranda had her new life celebration at First Colony.  She is such a beautiful baby. I cant believe it has been almost one year since I had her.  Thinking of that right now makes me very happy and sad at the same time.  Right now my heart goes out to a friend who lost her baby today. This friend was 8months and one week along. She had high blood pressure and some liver enzyme problem.  She was put on bed rest two weeks ago.  I am praying for their loss and that the God of peace and understanding  will be with them now. As I am writing this she is getting ready to deliver.  To end this blog I will leave you with some pictures of this past weekend.
