playing at the park

I have a really hard time getting outside now that it is cold out. Parker really needs to be outside and get some energy out! But...Delainey hates it when it is cold and windy. Now that it has headed into winter weather, it is both cold and windy almost everyday. This is Oklahoma after all! It just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't windy. Delainey makes this gasping sound every time a breeze kicks up...like the wind takes her breath away, then she starts to cry. I feel horrible. Today we decided to brave it anyway and hoped the our little lady would "cowgirl up" as Trav's family would put it! She did alright. Parker had a blast!

{take two: much better this time}

Things are going well here in our family. I am finding new recipes all the time that do not contain dairy/soy/whey/nuts. It is making meal time much easier and I have lost all but 2 lbs. of my baby-weight! Go me! I am concerned though that I have made all the changes that the G.I. doctor asked of me...and the bleeding for our little gal has not stopped or slowed. I know that so many people have been adding Delainey to their prayers...please keep them coming. We would really love to know something concrete...neither Travis or myself are convinced that she really has a protein allergy...I still feel in my heart that it is something else. We have one more month left after this month is done in the "it takes 3 months for her insides to heal from the protein exposure." SO, we will give it another month of trusting in the G.I. doctor's notion before I really start to get pushy. There isn't really anything that can be done to check into anything else until she is 6 months old anyway. That is when the G.I. doctors will actually do a scope to take a look at her insides (but they have to put her under and we would like to avoid that)...so hopefully this all gets figured out before it comes to that. Please keep up the prayers. I am extremely thankful that she is not in any pain and is so so so happy. Thank the Lord for that!
