Today was Luke's 1 month appt. Here are his stats...
Height: 23 inches
Weight: 10 lb., 10 oz.
He has been such a sweet blessing to our family, and I am really thankful for his health and growth so far!
The curse...he has officially been diagnosed with a milk protein allergy. I am thankful that this is two months earlier than Greer was diagnosed, but it is bittersweet for me. I am not looking forward to removing dairy from my diet. I had a pity party about two weeks ago when I felt this day was coming, so most of my thoughts today are cerebral. "How does someone with a milk intolerance (that has never been diagnosed) have two kids with a milk allergy?" "If I had more children, would they have it, too?" "How do I keep giving Greer dairy?" "I cannot eat out for another year of my life!"(a little emotion) More to come, but that's enough for tonight.

i can totally feel your pain. i also have two children who have/had a milk protein allergy...and i only gave birth to one of them :-) with maddie, i did the diet, and i can sympathize with the inconvenience!!! with tyson, on the other hand, since nursing wasn't an option, the most expensive formula on the market had to do! either way, it is NOT fun!!! i'm so sorry!
so sorry reagan!! sorry we missed you this week. hopefully next time we drive through we can see ya'll!
I feel for you. You're a good mommy.
