I've been busy..

Posted by Daisy at Sunday, February 08, 2009

It's been a while since I updated my blog, and most of you maybe wondering what we've been up to. The past week has been crazy! A few doctor's appointments, but the main reason why we're having a crazy schedule because we're looking for a house to buy. It maybe a surprise for you ladies (in the ward) as I think most of you don't know that we're only renting the house we're in right now. We like the house we're in right now and so the ward but we wanted to have our own house.


End of last month after seeing his pediatrician, we were advised to take Andrew to an Allergist. He has been having an allergic reaction to a lot of food and we want to know if his dry skin condition is related to his food allergies.

We took him to Intermountain Allery & Asthma to be seen and he had an allergy skin test. An allergy skin test is used to identify the substances that are causing your allergy symptoms. It is often performed by applying an extract of an allergen to your skin, pricking the skin to allow exposure, and then evaluating the skin's reaction.
As you can see in the picture above, he reacted to a lot of them. Andrew can't have any seafood, peanuts, some fruits and we also found out he's allergic to milk and all dairy products. He has been drinking milk all his life and he loves cheese and yogurt but the doctor asked us to stop giving him those for at least 2 months. We tried giving him soy milk, unfortunately he doesn't like it. Also we can't have any pets in the house which is good because I don't like having one :)



Last Sunday we attended Sebastien's blessing. (that big boy is only a month old)


These are my preggy friends. (From left to right) Fe- her due date is March 31, Lisha-April 9, me-June 24 and Ritchie- July 17. We love to get together and according to Russ it's from the water we all drink that's why the 4 of us are pregnant.



Last night, Russ and I decided to take a break and have a dinner outside. We went to Outback Steakhoue and tried their BLOOMIN' ONION. It was good and we actually like it.
