We are all very excited to be leaving for the Bay Area tomorrow to visit friends & family and to go to Lisa's baby shower! We are a little nervous about packing everything up and remembering everything we need to bring for little Lucy, but I'm sure it will go fine.
We had a scary thing happen this weekend with Lucy...we gave her a little formula right before bed after her normal feeding just to see if having a little extra in her tummy would help her sleep...she didn't take much of it at all, so we put her to bed. She fell asleep, but about 15 minutes later I heard her making little noises in her bassinet. When I went in to check on her, she had thrown up a lot all over herself and her bassinet. We immediately went to start the bath and get her changed, and when I took off her sleeper, there were bright red hives everywhere the vomit had touched her skin! I was so scared...we called the pediatrician, and by the time he called us back we had already finished the bath, and gotten her dressed and she was doing much better...the hives were down and her skin was much less red. So it looks like she has an allergy to probably the cow milk protein in the regular formula. We're going to hold off on any formula now and just talk more to her pediatrician next week at her four month check-up. But it looks like she'll need to be on a hypoallergenic formula when we get to that point...
But she's such a little trooper...when all this was happening, she never even really cried! I don't know if the hives just weren't itchy or what, but it didn't seem to bother her at all. She's such a good baby :)
Here are a couple cute pictures of her admiring herself in the mirror above the swing.
We're looking forward to seeing some of you in a few days!
