Allergies?

I won't post the picture because it's painful to look at, but what started out as something that resembled Baby Acne, has definitely turned into something much worse. We went to the pediatrician yesterday and it turns out that Baby E is having an allergic reaction to something. It's only on her head and her head is covered. It actually reminds me of the allergic reaction I had to penicillin when I was 11 (not pretty).

So for now, I have to cut out all citrus, nuts, artificial sweetener and gasp... CHOCOLATE. Right before Easter... it's just not right. We also have to wash all our linens and anything else she comes into contact with, in Dreft. So last night I re-washed all my bedding. And I wanted chocolate in the worst way, because once someone tells me I can't have something, I want it so much more. I settled for a bowl of Fiber One cereal. It wasn't chocolate, but it was sweet.

Hopefully, all these efforts will yield in her baby beautiful skin returning in time for her baby blessing in a week.
