Constant Hellish Feelings

I feel like we're in this constant whirl of nothing working, nothing happening. Everything is just complete crap today. Her dribble rash is so excessive despite creams and changes it can't just be dribble rash. Plus so much gas the last few days. She might be teething, but on top. I'm completely worn out. I actually saw 156 on the 15th I think? And now I've been eating nonstop and I feel disgusting. I feel like crap. We're both just seemingly in this rotton spiral.

I'm cutting the soda. I got coffee today. Last time I consumed coffee I got sick, but I'm hoping it was just contaminated with gluten. Coffee and rice tomorrow? Yay?

I feel a little silly

That rash I was freaking out about? Really it was just a dribble rash. I wasn't keeping her dry enough under her chin. Sigh. BUT more importantly her poops look really stellar now. Like close to week 2 poop. Which is what I wanted, nice healthy poops. Which means things are great right now. I'm going to rapidly bring food back in, I think things were fine, just now her gut has really really healed up.

I also legit exercised today. Did a core circuit workout. Not that I did great, but I did it. (Pssst, apparently I can't do a sit-up anymore)

Following this plan for now http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/jamie-easons-post-pregnancy-trainer-months-1-3.html

Though I can't really go out for walks, but I can do Zumba. And I want to work yoga back into my daily routine. So that's my plan. Do the circuit workout on days I don't do Zumba and try to do yoga when I can. I could even try to fit in My!Fitness Trainer, if Peanut wants to join me.

I'm feeling really good today! Plus yesterday I clocked in at 157.2 - 10 year low weight for me!

Restarting Day one!

Ok, well, breakfast was a bit of a... thing. But lunch I restarted. Plain rice, pork chop, salt and pepper. Fennel/Cumin/Coriander tea. Snack of pears. Last night she was sooooo super gassy. But she only woke up once after wakeup and once overnight (though up early for the day) but then took a short first nap....

I'm so nervous about the 4 month sleep regression. Everything just screams at me, shit it's here! I'm skuuuuured!

Weight dropped down this morning, I assume the bloat has been lost, 159. But my nerves feel frayed. I even got sleep last night, DH let me sleep in and everything, nerves still frayed.

Went to Aldi last night, picked up a bunch of rice and pork chops. My other goal is to live on less. So that'll be our big shopping trip of the month. DH can bring home milk for Peanut and himself. This should be fuuuuun!

Chocolate, Coconut and cauliflower, oh my!

We've been having rash issues that just aren't clearing up on little Almond. So tomorrow I'm scrapping everything and going back to square one. Part of me is wondering about corn. I feel like I jumped the gun on processed food, and corn is in everything processed. So I bought some bulk rice (forgot carrots, d'oh!) I've got pears raisins and pork. Plus I experimented with a tea made from fennel, cumin and coriander that I liked. All are good for the digestive track, and fennel especially has been mentioned to help babies.

The rest of me... I've been dealing with the stress ok. My weight has been stable, which is great in the holidays. The girl turns 4 months tomorrow, this is a crazy time for babies. I've been looking forward to it forever.... just so we can get past it! It's been great having DH home too. When Peanut was this age... well it was the absolute worst, worst worst days of my life. And besides being more stable now, having him here is just incredible. He puts her to bed everything night! She doesn't stay asleep, but that doesn't matter. He does it and I love him so much for it. And she's adjusting. Today she's barely cried. So I'm greatful. And that's the end for now.
