Ultrasound and Allergy Testing

Today was a big day. The ultrasound was for me, the allergy testing was for Tornado. Sadly, I didn't think to get a pic of Tornado's back with my camera phone (I always forget it has that feature), so it is forever lost, except in my memory.

The verdict? He's indeed allergic! Allergic to dogs, cats, rabbits, and dust mites (ewww). Allergic to 2 varieties of tree pollen... thus our strong spring time allergies. Allergic to grass a little... that's why his nose didn't stop running when spring ended last year. The grass is apparently an early summer problem. And allergic to 4 kinds of mold... 2 of which are more severe allergies. Oh, and it's official... ALLERGIC to peanuts!

Wooo. We knew he was allergic... I'm not sure we were actually surprised there was so much... but it's good to know. We'll be making some changes to help reduce his allergic reactions, and hopefully as a result, temper his asthma a little bit.


Oh, the other little thing. The ultrasound.

It went well... though the little guy wouldn't roll over so the nice lady could get a pic of the kidneys and spine. But everything else went smoothly. And did you catch that??? Little GUY? Yep, a little boy is coming our way this summer.

I'm curious... how many of you picked up on the blue text?
