Allergist & New pics

On Friday I had another doctor's appointment, this time with an allergist, during which my fabulous mother-in-law agreed to watch my baby! So I took Jayden to her around 1pm so I could make it to my appointment, which went well. I have "chronic idiopathic urticaria" a fancy way of saying "you chronically get hives all over and we have no idea why." Because of this, he wouldn't do a scratch test on me so we can do immuno-therapy (allergy shots). I'm getting some blood work done to rule out a few things as the cause of the hives, and I am just supposed to keep doing what I've been doing to keep the hives under control. Lots of fun :) Actually, its not a problem. I just have to remember to take a whole bunch of allergy meds on a daily basis and carry around an epi-pen. The doctor thought that the hormonal changes during my pregnancy have just increased my allergies and that is the most likely cause of the chronic hives. Good old pregnancy, changes everything!

Cassy, my mother-in-law, invited us over for dinner Friday night since she was watching Jayden that afternoon anyway. It was a fabulous time. We got a bunch of cute pictures.



It is so amazing to me how much he grows and changes on a daily basis! He was almost 11lbs and 23-1/2 inches long! That is 3 inches since birth! He's just long and skinny! We finally have his sleeping through the night in his pack and play. We've even started working on a regular nap-time schedule! I've been putting him in his pack and play and even if he isn't tired I just bundle him up and leave him in there until he falls asleep.

He is just so much fun right now. He is such a happy, playful, observant little man. He just melts my heart every day.
