All figured out!


Well it's been a rough couple days in the Lubber's household. This weekend with Mary was one of the fussiest (is that word made up?) of all time, and she really looked like she was in pain. So I checked all the foods that I've eaten and it turns out that the soy burgers I eat have milk in them, and so does the taco seasoning I used Saturday night!!! This is just dumb, who puts milk in soy burgers?!?

Anyway, we went to the doctor to see what we could do and we've got her on a ridiculously expensive, but hypoallergenic, formula for the next week to see if that makes the blood in her stool go away. If so, then we know it's the milk allergy. Since it can take up to two weeks for the milk protein to get out of my system, we're waiting until late next week to try mixing some breast milk in with the new formula and seeing how she reacts.

I really think that this protein thing is the problem though, forget the tests. The rash on Mary's face is going away, and she isn't squirming when we feed her. The doctor will confirm it next week, but it just seems like this is what it is to me. We'll see if she's less fussy today! So far so good. Here are some pics, i can't resist ;) Check out her outfit in that pic with Ian sleeping. It's very J. Crew. We did go to Miami after all.These next two are from a little photo session we did with Brooklynn. Brooklynn is so cute with Mary. I need to get a video of the two of them because Brookynn just holds her and when we take Mary away she throws a fit. Then when I put Mary down for a nap Brooklynn kept saying, "baby, baby" and walking back to Mary's room. We had to barricade her because she'd just push the door open and walk right in. But it was really cute when we let her go in because she kept shushing us and whispering "baby, baby." She loves her cousin!

Yes, they are precious - Ian too. If there's anything to heredity, then try Prosobee (if they still make that) - It worked for you.
