Much better!

Finley visited the allergist yesterday and discovered it was not a food allergy that caused his rash and hives. He will go back to the allergist in 2 weeks for an oral Tylenol challenge to see if that was the cause. If that's not it, he'll go back a couple weeks after that to be tested for allergies to the vaccines. We're very happy to be breastfeeding again, and have learned a few things over these few days.
1. Finley will eat just about anything. He took to the formula like he'd been drinking it his whole life.
2. Finley is getting plenty of food nursing. We have a freezer full of milk to prove it, despite Finn's occasional protests that he is starving.
3. Because we have a freezer full of milk Hud and I are looking forward to going out occasionally without the boy.
4. It's not the end of he world if Finley gets a bottle of formula once in a while, ok, everyone else knew this but mommy had trouble accepting it until now.
We're very happy he is on the mend, and was such a trooper through it all. He was happy and smiley the whole time. Ok, not for the heel stick, but the rest of the time.
