my new enemies

When it comes to food, usually I am my own worst enemy. Not this time!
Dairy Products: Enemy # 1


Chocolate: Enemy #2



Dairy and Chocolate = very grumpy Baby Lydia, tired and worn down mama, stressed out life!


No dairy and chocolate = peaceful, happy Baby Lydia, happy mama, happy life!



This little girl is sweet as can be, IF and only IF I avoid chocolate and dairy and who knows what else. She has some good days and other days it is cry, cry, cry. Her tummy is tight and she kicks. Did I mention her cry is better described as a scream?
I know we will get through this, but I really want to enjoy it.
Travis has been my angel, always helping out when I am almost to the breaking point. Telling me that I am doing a great job. He has made it so much better than it could be. Thank heavens for good husbands and fathers!

I hope I'm not sounding like I am complaining. It is really hard some days, but I don't mind too much. The kids are so patient and always helping. I am sure the fussiness will pass before I know it and I am determined not to let her infant moments slip by too quickly.

It's ok.. You ARE still human, after all. Humans get tired. Sleep deprived humans get grumpy (and not just the wee ones). It *is* hard, and it's totally understandable.

Is soy ok? I could give you some tips, as that's what we use around here.

Hang in there, sis.
