Allergies or no allergies

Today I took Brayden to the doctor over the long debate about whether or not he is going to have a milk allergy or not. After much discussion, well as much as you can have when there is a 10 month old and a 4 year old in the room, we really are no closer to knowing the answer. The doctor doesn't really know what to do. He doesn't think that an allergy doctor would test him yet, so we are trying a couple of different formulas right now, since he can't have breastmilk forever. Technically I guess he could, but I don't want him to have it forever. So today he got 1 ounce of Enfamil Nutramigen mixed in with 2 of his bottles. This is the first time that he has had some formula without throwing it up 3 hours later.......so I am keeping my fingers crossed although the hpoallergenic formula is about twice as expensive as the regular formula.

In the past 6 weeks I have been to 8 doctor appointments between the kids, I hope to not go to another until Brayden's 1 year check up. It is times like this that I'm glad that we are not having anymore kids.
