Tuesday Tidbits.

Jude slept 12 hours last night, so he's smiley and so am I! I really needed the rest after yesterday. We went to see our family doctor and she was a bit doom and gloom. She started the visit off by saying Jude's condition was so serious that she already had a referral in for Jude to see a pediatrician who specializes in rare conditions. She then proceeded to tell me that kids with milk allergies are usually smaller than other kids and have frail bones. I was in tears by the end of the visit.

We don't see the pediatrician until March 28th, so until then the house is clean and free of any peanuts or milk products. Jason took them all to work. Jude will also only be fed food that I prepare for him, as he seems to be reacting to some of the prepared baby food. The reactions are inconsistent, since he has eaten some of the foods before without incident, but the only way to be sure what he's eating is to make it myself.

I think this will also be the weight loss program Jason and I have been looking for, so there are some up sides to this. No cheese or butter should shed a few pounds. Jason pointed out that at least we can still drink beer.

The important thing is that Jude is one happy little guy. His smiley face makes my heart melt and helps me forget all my worries. I hope he does the same for you today!
