I realize that I’ve not been around much.<\/p>\n
I have a very good reason.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve had a sick little baby.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
We’ve been having problems with poop, and I am so tired of “problems”, I really just wish that everything could be “normal” for a couple of weeks (at least) so I could rest and relax and stop holding my breath all the time.<\/p>\n
We’ve seen some blood in Josiah’s diaper, and if that doesn’t just FREAK THE CRAP RIGHT OUTTA YOU, then I don’t know what would.<\/p>\n
Something’s been going on for a wwile now.\u00c2\u00a0 His poos are not normal.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that breast fed baby’s poos are all over the place, but they shouldn’t be filled with mucus and streaked with bits of blood and so acidic that they burn his butt every time he poops.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s just not right!<\/p>\n
We took him to our family Dr, who was so busy and running an hour behind and he basically brushed me off.\u00c2\u00a0 CAN WE SAY FRUSTRATION?\u00c2\u00a0 So, I then took him to the naturopath, who tested him and said that he’s got an yeast imbalance, and appears to be intolerant to dairy and eggs…<\/p>\n
I wasn’t surprised about the eggs because a couple of weeks ago I made eggs and ended up scrambling them ’cause I wrecked them (I like my eggs a cretain way) then I made two more and ate them with my toast like normal, and a little bit later I was still hungry so I ate the other 2 eggs……Josiah threw up ALL DAY.\u00c2\u00a0 Not serious vomitting, but just little barfing….the ONLY thing different about that way was the 4 eggs…..Hmmmmm – so I had already wondered about eggs.<\/p>\n
I’ve been “supposed” to be off dairy for a long time now, but occasionally cheat, but for a week and a half it’s been hard core.\u00c2\u00a0 No dairy, no eggs, and right now we’ve just started no soy…….I saw some more blood yesterday, and I had a fair amount of soy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s so frustrating and so scarey when you’re laying beside your baby in the\u00c2\u00a0 middle of the night and you’re not certain if they’re squirming and whimpering because they have some gas or if it’s something more serious….let’s just say that I’ve not been having very much fun the past couple of weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 WAY TOO STRESSFUL!<\/p>\n
But, I have a question for all of you, now that I’ve explained why I’ve not been around so much.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is your favorite Christmas CD?\u00c2\u00a0 I’m looking for good music, and I like pretty much anything, but I am looking for some more good ones.\u00c2\u00a0 I have memories of growing up and listening to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas Album.\u00c2\u00a0 Not that I think that they are the definition of “Good” music, but\u00c2\u00a0I have so many memories attached to that tape cassette.\u00c2\u00a0 I love Sarah McLachlan’s Wintersong, and I think that Mariah Carey’s Christmas Album is a great Christmas staple to have……..<\/p>\n
So, what are your favorites, and hopefully they’ll be on I-Tunes so I can buy a copy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
