So guess who's also allergy to nuts?

I was almost certain that you wouldn't be allergy to peanuts or nuts in general because you don't have eczema like Aidan. Your skin is actually really soft. I feel like eczema and nut allergies are connected in a way because all the kids that I know that have suffered from severe eczema have peanut allergies. But I was wrong. I got you tested for any allergies today because I just wanted to make sure. When the doctor told me you had 100% peanut allergy (your swelling was the biggest where she tested you for peanuts) I was shocked. She even said you may have allergies to tree nuts. The swelling wasn't that big so she wants to test you again in a year's time. Great… Now I have to get daycare epipens…

I asked the doctor if there was anything that I did during my pregnancy to cause the nut allergy since both daddy and I don't have any cases of nut allergy in the family, but she said it just happens sometimes. She actually got mad at me for thinking that I did something. She said when the older sibling has a nut allergy, it's most likely that the younger sibling also has a nut allergy… Thanks Aidan.

It's hard to tell in this photo, but the peanut allergy test caused the biggest swelling.

Such a cute girl. I just want to eat you sometimes because you're so cute!
