Back at work!

Thank you to everyone for your prayers! I am feeling much better today, so I am back at work. I think the fact that the weather was so beautiful this weekend was exactly what my body needed to encourage it to get well. We took another walk yesterday, this time with Bart, Melissa, Sofia, and Hannah (their puppy). It was a beautiful day, and Abby loved the walk. Although that fresh air hit her pretty hard: she actually fell asleep in her carrier while I was carrying her around. So cute! :-)

The other new development in Abby's life is that we've started her on fruits! The doctor wants us to be very careful about introducing new foods, especially because of her milk protein allergy. (I don't think the milk allergy makes her any more likely to have other allergies. Rather, I think the doctor wants us to be careful because we've finally gotten her milk allergy under control, and she doesn't want us to exacerbate it by trying too many new things at one time.) So, we're waiting 4-5 days between new foods. Last week, Abby started on pears, which she LOVED. After 5 days on pears, we started her on prunes last night. I thought they looked pretty gross, but Abby gobbled them right up, so she must like prunes, too! I'll probably wait another week before we start bananas, just because they're a little binding and Abby's still working through her constipation issues. So, we might try green beans or squash at the end of this week. But, for now, Abby is in pear and prune heaven!

I hope everyone has a great week!
