Allergies

Well... it seems that on top of dealing with everything Spina Bifida... we also have to deal with egg allergies. Unfortunately, we have not been to see an allergist yet. So in the meantime, we have given up eggs altogether as a family.

Our little one has already broken out in hives while eating eggs. So far, he has not had a severe reaction to eating eggs baked into products or through my breast milk. But we don't want to take that chance. After all, he didn't react to eating eggs right away. It took months of eating eggs before he ever broke out in hives.

So for now, we are on the hunt for egg-free recipes for our favorite foods like pancakes, cakes and bread. I've found that searching for vegan recipes are a good place to start. Who knows? Maybe this will help me in my quest to lose all this extra baby-weight... maybe not. But it is a nice thought.
