We got the results for Maia's blood test back. Her EEG (is that right?) number is 5.15. That means that she is HIGHLY allergic to peanuts. However, people with a EEG of 5 usually don't have breathing problems, just a skin rash. Furthermore, they usually grow out of their peanut allergies!!! Woohoo! We should not plan on it, but it would be great if she could enjoy a Snicker's one day with her father! Now, if only Ashley could grow out of her lactose intolerance...

For those of you who do not know, we try our best to feed Maia only organic foods. This is not easy, but we feel like it is best for her especially while her brain is still developing. Why? Sometimes we have no idea. With all of the other chemicals leached into her body from things like plastic, carpet, and shampoo, we should just forget about it. On the other hand, we are trying to give her the best headstart possible. In an age where everyone gets cancer, wouldn't it be wonderful if she didn't??? Plus, all of the extra nutrients in organic veggies, or so we thought until we read an article on CNN that said there are no extra nutrients in organic food AND this is the first study of it's kind. But, but, but, Ashley listened to Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Delimna which sited another study that said organic food DOES have more nutrients because they are more concentrated, right...Well, who knows anymore. We will keep trying, even if we are wrong.
