Saturday began bright and early, but after breakfast, Adia, Scott and I read the paper. No joke, the three of us lined up on the couch, reading the paper. It was adorable. I wish we would have had an extra person here to take a pic of us, but Scott did manage to take some of Adia and me. Adia picked out her dream house and car (a red jeep). I'm glad there weren't any animals in the paper or we would have been in big trouble. She really wants a kitten. Adia woke up early from her nap on Saturday too so I never got to shower. It was bad, but at least we didn't have to go anywhere. Gamma and Unky Eck dropped by in the evening though. Adia was busy sharing a popsicle with me on the couch. She can say popsicle now and definitely knows what one is. She thinks we can only eat them on the couch though. After dinner she runs to the couch and says, "popsicle" very matter of factly. She'll throw a huge fit if we don't have one.
Sunday was another lazy day. Adia slept in until 6 and we hit Target nice and early. Adia tried to shoplift Thomas the Tank Engine, but was caught before we left. Thomas ended up staying. She fell asleep in the car, but woke up to our screaming neighbors and I had to fight with her forever to get her down for a nap. She ate a huge lunch when she woke up and was a goof until Scott woke up. We ran a couple errands and had dinner when we came home. Adia wasn't too interested in dinner, but she did want to drink out of a big girl cup. She was only wearing her diaper and totally drenched herself. She wasn't expecting the water to come out so fast and she pretty much dumped it in her lap. The water was fine, it was when she dumped her plate and sent peaches flying that I wasn't happy.
Today was her pediatric allergy appointment. No need for an alarm clock when you have Adia. We were up bright and early, ate breakfast, took a bath and were all ready to go when Scott came home at 7:30. I filled out all the paperwork while Scott entertained Adia in the waiting room. We answered a bunch of questions, explained her reactions and how she's been wheat free. The doctor decided to do the skin test to check for wheat, rye, barley, oats and cat. Adia giggled when the nurse wrote on her back and only cried for a minute when she pricked her. The positive control swelled up instantly, but all the other ones were definitely negative.
We talked with the doctor for a bit while Adia flirted with the other doctor. They easily fell in love with her. She knows how to work it. The doctor wanted to do a blood test and see what that showed since she's certainly been having some sort of reaction to wheat. I asked her about celiac and she said the blood test came back negative before, but it was certainly something we should look into if the allergy blood test came back negative too. We'd have to get referred by her pediatrician. If the blood work does come back positive, Adia will have an epipen to take with her everywhere. Of course we're also supposed to continue avoiding wheat, which won't be a problem.
After watching the epipen instruction video, we left to get Adia's blood draw. The second I sat in the chair with Adia on my lap, she knew what was going to happen. She screamed and fought as hard as she could, but luckily it only took one try. The crying was over as fast as it started and she even got a sticker out of it. Now we just get to wait.
