The baby and I were hit with crippling allergies yesterday(on E's first day of school) and we both look pit-e-ful.
I sneezed and cried my way through the day, and when I went to pick him put he looked miserable.
I am really weird about medicine. I am not against it per say I just really have to feel they need it before I will give them anything and I always like to get the pharmacist's take on whatever it is that I am going to be administering cause let's face it; that is what they went to school for and they usually know more about the drugs than the doctors.
The pharmacist is going over the specifics of the different allergy meds and we decided on the basic benadryl since this was Conner's first bout with allergies. Pharmacist was going over the side effects and of course I know in the back of my mind, benadryl= more rest for baby AND mommy. "This medication cause marked drowsiness in most infants, but there are a few that get pretty anxious and WOUND (THE FUCK*)UP.
That is the moment that the cruel unjust hand of fate leaned over and whispered into my ear, "JINX"
My child was on all fours headbanging for about two hours in my living room last night. He would not eat and not only would he not eat he would throw everything I gave him in the floor and laugh. He climbed. He pulled the cats tail. Head butted his brother and almost made him cry. OH OH OH and poked me repeatedly in my allergy ridden eyes saying "Eye, Eye".
Eric in full charge tonight. Eye am going to bed ASAP.
*My words, not his.

My mom is one of those for whom benadry.l doesn't work. And apparently, when I was a child, bena.dryl left me pretty hyper, too. During pregnancy, I took it, and it knocked me out, until the end when my wicked insomnia was apparently immune even to the deathly doping effect of the bena-slumber. (ty.lenol PM is apparently just tyleno.l plus benad.ryl... who knew?)
So yeah. I'm nervous to have to give it to my boys the first time. Here's hoping I get the knock out effect...
