You woke up last night just as I layed down to go to sleep. Even though I was exhausted and just wanted to close my eyes, it's ok. Because every day when I pick you up out of you crib I'm reminded of how you're getting bigger every day.
We took you to Riley the other day, to see a specialist about your allergies. They confirmed what we already suspected, no nuts for you. As we walked through the hospital I kept getting this déjà vu feeling. Then when we got up to your doctor, I realized it was the same floor, opposite end as my doctor. Its just this gut wrenching feeling that hits you. All those visits, procedures, etc, it comes back. I really hope this doesn't become a routine thing for you to have to see a specialist. But even in saying that after your dad and I got in the car I said to him, "All you have to do is take a quick walk though that hospital to realize how lucky we are." It is so true. There are so many families there I'm sure would take a simple allergy any day for their child.
So Riley, I hope you know that even though it may not be fun if you're never able to eat peanut butter your whole life, there's worse things. Your dad and I still feel so blessed every day to have you. :)
We love you
