The start to many weird illnesses..

So happy Wednesday part 2! (It seems weird to have a blog with only 2 posts so I may do 4 today..you better read them all!)

Here's a little of my health background and what Nolan has to look forward too..

I've had a lot of strange phobias and illnesses throughout my life.  None of them serious, all of them extremely embarrassing.  A lot of them were imaginary stemming from my mom who put them in my head.  For instance once I had a spot on my tongue..after googling and concluding I had mouth cancer I went to the doctor. It turns out I was allergic to my toothpaste.  After not brushing my teeth for 2 weeks it completely healed! ;)  Another time at bible camp my forehead swelled up with a lump the size of Afghanistan.  While I did not have access to google I just got all the other campers opinions on how I probably had less than a week to live or how the lump was going to explode and my brains would come flying out.  My mom came to pick me up to take me to the doctor and her diagnoses were about the same as the campers.   I was a goner.  Turns out some benadryl and a half an hour later I was allergic to a bug bite.  Now I could really go on for blog posts about my strange illnesses but I instead would like to keep some dignity.  Maybe if you are my really good friend and have not yet heard about my IBS (and no it does NOT stand for  irritable bowel syndrome) then give me a few margaritas and I will share that story and MISdiagnosis with you!

Now Hans isn't so lucky either.  The kid has had pink eye more times than I can count (he claims it is his bodies way of getting sick or from dust in the air--WE ALL KNOW it is actually from getting poop in your eyes..google it!)  Anyway he has also been lactose since a baby.  Which is where Nolan comes in.  Poor Nolan inherited his milk allergy from his Pink-eyed daddy!  My breast milk is like poison to him! (yeah it makes me feel really good about myself)  Even after we were both put on pills and I cut out dairy from my diet he still could not drink my milk.  Not a problem, Hans gets a year supply of free formula through his work Nestle. But wait, Nolan can only drink one special kind that isn't made by Nestle and is $26 a pop!  Which brings me to the conclusion that A . Nestle sucks! and B. Nolan has his first weird illness/allergy of many.  Poor baby.
