Check ups, food allergies and meetings.....

I thought Brielle's 15 month check up appointment was yesterday afternoon, but after not getting a confirmation phone call the day before, I called yesterday morning to make sure and the idiot receptionist had scheduled it for Friday. I know for a fact she told me wednesday on the phone and I am going to be extremely busy friday getting ready to go racing that night, so I knew I wouldnt have done it that day. Anyway, we were able to reschedule for this morning. She is FINALLY 20 pounds and she is super long at 30 inches. She had to get two shots, but she seems to be handling it just fine now.

I asked the doc about Owen because the poor kid has been having some pooping issues. He is potty trained, but he still sleeps in a diaper or pull-up because he is unable to stay dry at night yet. He wakes up in the morning and poops sometimes and its terrible! Okay, so a little history, we have know since Owen was under 2 years old that he cannot handle apple juice. It goes straight through him and gives him aweful diarrhea. It actually gives him an instant rash, but its more like it burns his skin. Anyway, lately that has happend a few times, and I had no idea why. It has actually happend alot over the last 3 years and we just thought it was Owen. We know for sure though that happens when he has apple juice. Well, a couple of weeks ago when Forest's parents were here, he had a really bad day where he would have super small accidents in his pants and when he did make it to the toilet, it was super watery. I asked the doc about it today and she said it sound like a possible food allery to her. I was thinking, oh great, how am I going to figure this one out! As I was putting Owen down for his nap, I got to thinking, and when Forests parents were here, Sheryl had bought a big bag of apple slices, adn we had all been munching on them like crazy, including Owen. So, apparently, Owen must be allergic, or at least has a bad reaction to apples. Poor kid. He has had a decent amount of apples lately, and his diapers have been aweful. I am in the process of trying to get his little bum cleared up right now. So no more apples for Owen!

Wow, that was alot. Hopefully that wasnt the most boring thing ever...haha! We have our montly car club meeting tonight also. I always look forward to that.
