Adam had his ultrasound and labs on Thursday. As soon as we got there, he told the receptionist that he didn't have any blood. He is now old enough to know what comes after his belly pictures! Even when we walked into the ultrasound room, he told our tech that he didn't have any blood. Poor guy! Luckily Children's has some fantastic phlebotomists and we have gotten quick pokes despite the screaming and struggling to get away. I keep telling him he only has to get blood drawn 2 more times and then he's done with AFP testing but he doesn't understand. He was soo mad that he DID have blood, he didn't want a band-aid and tried to rip it off. He learned that the hurt more and left it on until it came off after his swim lesson. Results came back in record time (the next day!): AFP is back down to 3 (I think it had jumped to 8 from 2.5 last time) and ultrasound normal.
We are finally out of pull-ups. Adam has been wearing undies during the day since he started school in September but we had been keeping him in pull-ups at night because he was having some random accidents and because we had a bunch left. Well, Adam has been dry at night for a while but now we are officially out of (as in we have no more) pull-ups. He's been wearing undies to bed all week. Now we just need to use up the swim diapers and our house will be diaper free!
