Why am I blogging? I don't know. I should be packing but I've been doing that alllll morning so I need a little break. Now I'm sitting here eating chips and salsa (really good black bean and corn salsa!) and trying to think if there are any updates in our family. Well, we're moving on Saturday and I just started packing yesterday. Yes, it's crazy, but I'd rather hurry and be frazzled for 5 days than have a chaotic messy house for 2 weeks or more, so that's why I started so late...and PetsMart, which has the best boxes, didn't have any until Monday morning, but that's beside the point.
I miss cheese. Yes, cheese. And milk. And chocolate. And __(insert dairy product here)__. Why? Jeanine is sensitive to dairy in my milk in that it causes her to spit up to no end, makes her poop the consistency of slime, gives her gas, flares up her eczema so that she has open sores on her face, etc. I have officially been 100% off all dairy for 5 or 6 days now just as an experiment (before that I'd just cut back quite a bit), and Jeanine is an entirely different baby! We thought she was a happy baby before I quit eating that stuff, but now it's amazing how fun she is to be around. She's all grins and giggles all the time now! Her face has cleared up, she no longer squirms in pain from gas and upset tummy when she's eating or trying to sleep, and her poop (yep, I'm a mom and talk about these things) is finally looking like it should, instead of like one big snot rocket in her diaper. She's also sleeping through the night now, which was off and on (more off) before this point. I feel bad for not catching it a lot earlier, but overall she was growing well and acting pretty normal so it didn't seem like that big of a deal. She also hasn't spit up in over 24 hours which is such a blessing for my laundry loads!
I guess that's it. Sorry no pictures lately, we've been too busy with organizing and packing for that stuff, but I'll be sure to add a video of the new house as soon as it's looking decent. Love you all!
