Last week, Alana got ill for the first time. She contracted a nasty stomach virus from school, and was not able to eat for a couple of days. She had to come off milk for about a week! Every time we tried to feed her some milk, she threw up. It was a lot of learning on our part, since we never had to deal with that before. I felt so bad for her because she was so hungry, but we couldn't give her milk. She was able to tolerate Soy milk, so that helped. It was a miserable time for all of us, because she passed on her virus to Jeff first.. then me! My stomach was cramping up so much, I was afraid for the baby and thought I might be having contractions! Luckily, it was only stomach cramps. The baby is fine and stronger than ever.
We thought after that experience that she would have lost some weight, but she doesn't seem to be any thinner. She had her Well Baby checkup last week, and she is 80th percentile in weight (29 lbs. 9 oz) and about 70th in height (29.5 inches) tall.

How cute is that little purple sweater on her?! :) But I'm sorry to hear that the family has been ill, especially little Alana.. But I'm thrilled to hear that you weren't having early contractions!!
