Yet Again, It's Been A While!!!

So, it has been several weeks since I have posted anything, yet again; yes, I'm well aware I'm still not doing a good job on keeping this updated but I'm a busy gal!!  I attached a few misc pictures from the past 2 weeks- overall things are going good.  For the most part Brennan continues to improve, but still has his "bad" days a couple days a week, which happened to start yesterday morning and the day continued with some new and strange effects.  When Brennan woke up yesterday morning, his bedding was a mess, needless to say everything was stripped, sanitized and washed, and I noticed one or two little, tiny bumps by his mouth but didn't think much of it.  The rest of the morning went on fine, he went to take his nap and then I got him up to get ready for family pics and I noticed that the area with the couple small bumps was a little red but again didn't think much of it.  So, off we go to family pics and about an hour into it (so 2 hours after getting up from his nap) I went to change his shirt because, as usual, Brennan had vommited all over it.  When I took his shirt off, his entire belly, chest, arms and neck were covered with both large and small bumps and his entire upper body was bright red.  Then, literally, as I'm checking out his body (and starting to freak out) these bumps and the redness just starts covering his face and one of the bumps around his mouth turns bright, bright red and looks like it's bleeding, but it wasn't.  So, here we are, in the middle of family pics, and BB is developing some new symptom, and with BB you never know if it's something to worry about or not a big deal.  I of course instantly call his pedi, which seems to be a regular thing on the weekends lately, my poor pedi must dread when he sees the page from me, and we go over all the symptoms on the phone and he says probably hives!  Hives- how does my 5 month old get hives, in the matter of minutes his body went from normal to horrible, he was trying to scratch like crazy and wouldn't stop crying!  Well, apparently, this is yet another  fun symptom/side effect of Brennan's misc belly/digestive/ general health issues.  For the next 6 months this is another thing we have to look forward to.  With a little bit of Benadryl, Brennan seemed to start feeling a bit better but isn't looking too much better this morning.  I'll give it a couple more hours until I make the trip to the pedi, for the 5th or 6th time in the past 2 weeks for one of the 3 kids.  I'm pretty sure my kids alone pay my pedi's mortgage every month! lol   Other than that, Brennan is good and healthy and so happy, as usual!  And he really is the most adorable little boy I've ever seen in my entire life- no worries, I know you agree too! Chloe's doing great, we got a swingset for the backyard and she LOVES it!  So, now my entire backyard, except for maybe a small section, is essentially a playground between the swing set and slide combo, the additional 2 other slide/climbers, the outdoor playhouse, her sand box and her new bouncy/jumpy thing- I have no clue what it's called but it entertains her, so I like it! lol  The kids absolutely own the backyard at this point!  Chloe has also learned to ride Christian's Razor and rides up and down the sidewalk with all the kids like she's 8 instead of 2!  She's mastered both of her bikes, the Princess Big Wheels and also the bike that I actually bought for Brennan (thinking much in the future as I was pregnant at the time lol) but Chloe has taken it over- but it's a real bike, with training wheels so I am very proud of her with that!  She's grown taller, again, 40" now I believe, which is just amazing to me.  When we were trick or treating the other night and there was this 4 year old that Chloe was talking to and she was towering over him, and he wasn't small for his age, she's just a little giant!  I love the interaction between Chloe and Brennan and she really has become very loving and attached to him lately.  I'm sure that's in part due to the fact that Brennan can interact with her a little more now and so she just holds on little convos with him all the time.  My adorable little babies!!  Mr. Christian is doing great as well, grading period just ended so I'm anxiously awaiting his report card, and he's doing wonderful in karate and really does love it.  In regards to Eric and I, nothing too much new there, the one thing I can think of is that we have both decided to go back to school.  Eric has already started classes and I start in January- just what I need- more to do!!!  Hope you all are great and I will do my best to update more often!! :)
