Allergist and baby update

I think that this is the only picture that I have ever posted here that I did not take myself. Nathan took this picture of Makayla in her crown at burger king tonight. We went out to eat as a reward because she was so good today during her allergy testing. She had to lay still on her belly for 20 minutes. I was so proud that she was such a big girl. They brought a TV in for her to watch while she was waiting on her belly. I did not expect her to be so cooperative, but I am glad that she was. No complaints here.

There is no bad news on the food allergy front, but there is also very little change. She is still allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts, and beef, but she was negative for pork and cashews. At least we didn't get the news that she now has more allergies. We can live with these allergies now just as we have for the past year and a half. It's just normal for us now I guess. At least now she can have ham and bacon.

I also went to the baby doctor yesterday. We had our last ultrasound. Kellan is a whopping 3.8 lbs at 30 weeks gestation. That is actually average not big, but 3.8 lbs seems big to me considering that he still has 10 weeks left to bake. His room is a mess, but at least Makayla's junk is not in there anymore. It seems to just be the holding pen for all of his stuff that we refuse to allow to take over the whole house until he is actually living here. We haven't even converted the toddler bed back to a crib nor have we rearranged the furniture to make it look a bit different than it did when it was Makayla's room. We are taking our time with the preperations, but I am sure that we will get it done in time. I fear that it will be just in time though because there is just so little time to do things like that when there is also a toddler running around.

It's far better for Makayla that she is having to learn to live with her allergies while she is this young. It would be much harder on all if she had been diagnosed at 12. I'm glad that she can now have pork.
