Olivia is 3, among other things!

Happy Thursday! Yesterday, Olivia Kate turned THREE! It seems unbelievable to me that she can be three already. I am not kidding when I say that it did not feel like I had her that long ago. Sadly, she was not 100% yesterday, but as the day progressed felt better and better! We started our day by cleaning (mean mom made her help clean while H was at PreK!). Then we went to Plainview to get her new tractor, and it is adorable! I think it is just perfect for her and she just loves it! Everyone at the Plainview store where we bought it just watched her get on it and be so excited! She just loves it! Then, last night we were lucky enough to have both sets of grandparents come over and Bonnie, Randy, Ian and Layli, and Lynn and Ethan came over…a complete bonus! Olivia cannot get enough of Layli, I think she would have been totally content to just sit and hold Layli all night! From Gma and Gpa Morgan she got the wagon to go with the tractor, so more than anything she likes to ride behind the tractor (make henry do the work!) in the wagon! She also got a cash register, so now her and H don’t have to share the one they have, which is great! And, she got a bathtub for her Babies!

Today, she had an appointment with a GI Doctor at mayo about Celiac’s. He thinks it does sound consistent with Celiac’s, and that she may be having some lactose intolerance now too. The lactose intolerance would go away once she is put on a gluten free diet. She will have an EGD on February 15th and then we will meet with a dietician and the doctor to go over results a different day. She also had more labs today (they took about 17cc of blood….poor girl!) and they still need a stool sample. So after all this testing I sure hope that the EGD is positive and that we won’t be repeating these tests in three years because she is having more symptoms. Also, because of the cost of doing all these tests, it is a lot of money to do all of these tests and I really do not want to have to pay for them again in a few years!

On a positive note, Scott received his first paycheck in like 5 months! I was elated! I think we need a few more paychecks before I will go shopping to celebrate!

Well, I better tidy up the house for a few minutes before Scott gets home so he doesn’t think I was too lazy today….oh wait, he would not really care…it is me who cares too much about the way the house looks!

Have a great night, Katie
