Sorry for the lack of posts of the last few months. I swore I would post at least once a week. We have had A LOT going on though. We had to postpone the kids allergy testing. We found out mid January that the water heater in the apartment we were renting was leaking and had been for quiet some time. It was encased in a wooden box so we never got to see it nor did we ever think to look in it. Needless to say our downstairs neighbor called after hours maintenance about a leak and from there it was discovered. To our absolute HORROR there was black mold everywhere. Not to mention that the water heater sat directly below the air conditioner intake. That meant that not only did the black mold exist in the box it had also gotten into the air conditioning system. Well we moved out immediately it took us a month to find a place that was suitable for our family. We spent a month between visiting family and a hotel. We are greatly convinced that the mysterious hives in the 2 younger kids was the result of the mold. Since we left our son has been a completely different kiddo (in the best way possible). He hasn't had any hive break outs nor has the baby. His eczema is finally under control (fingers crossed). So we are going to approach the allergist again and see where we need to go from here.
Not only did we have that craziness with a sudden move and being displaced for a month, we have also had some shocking and exciting news as well. We found out that baby #4 is on the way. He is due in July and we couldn't be happier now that the shock has worn off.
Now that we are in our new place and getting settled I plan on diving back into the blog and allergy research and posting more from there.
