welcome to my internet home. this blog used to be cool, with insights about mental health, social policy, pop culture and the like. now, it's a chaotic collection of my mis-spelled, scribbled-down notes on motherhood (who has time to proof read?). it's over-ran with goldfish cracker crumbles, slobery wet kisses, and un-edited pictures. and i would have it no other way. feel free to laugh and cry along side me while I balance a practice (mental heath) and motherhood, and their interconectedness

Moooooooooooo: Revisited

Posted by Todd & Chelsea at 2:31 PM

Lyla's doctor referred her to a GI specialist in St. George because her weight gain was pretty crappy this last month (2nd percentile). Of course, the only day this special doctor in St. George could see Lyla was the day that was supposed to be the last day of the family reunion. We left early and made the 8 hour drive in one day. Yay! Well, this doctor was ADAMANT that she would outgrow the daily allergy before she turned 1, citing statistics that virtually all babies do. To my great delight, he was not concerned about Lyla's weight. Somebody has to been the 2nd! He simply suggested that I reintroduce dairy NOW and quit being a pansy about it. The allergy is not life threatening, just uncomfortable enough to cause bloody stools. SOOO, we went straight to Brick Oven. YAY. Best pizza dinner I've ever had. I've since had dairy in regular doses (no, I didn't have my delicious planned meal but I have had the majority of the foods I missed) and we've had no problems. What a releif. It's been great eating like a normal person. More importantly, this bodes well for the likelihood of Lyla outgrowing the dairy allergy by the time she turns one!! I sure hope so. What kind of birthday treat will we have if she can't?! One month and counting.....
