Repenting and progress!!



Here is a recent picture of my little allergy guy.
We still have our ups and downs, but he has made so much progress in the past two years. So has his mommy.
They just built a new Whole Foods by our house in November which has been so wonderful.
Previously the closest one to us was a 20 to 30 minute drive. It made me think back to the first time I ever set foot in a whole foods. Marix was three months old and we had just got his tests back for allergies to dairy, soy and corn. I was nursing him at the time, and Tish told me she bought Tia safe food at Whole Foods. I brought my two smaller children into the store with me. I was already overwhelmed with and still adjusting to having four kids. Now I was facing severe allergies. I walked into the front door, and immediatly was greeted with smells, food, and lables that I had never seen or smelled before. I burst into tears, turned my cart around and drove the 20 minute drive back home. It was a horrible experience. The next week, we got a babysitter to watch the three older boys, and my husband came with the baby and I to Whole foods. He helped me read food labels until we found three foods that would be safe for me to eat. ( I had to go off dairy, soy and corn for the remainder of the time I was nursing him.) So two years later.....

Whole Foods is my favorite store ever because it contains so many safe foods for Marix to eat. The day after the store opened, I was literally no joke frolicking down every single aisle singing, "This is the most wonderful store of the year." I was getting crazy looks, but I didn't care.
Thats
WHat
I
Call
Progress!!
I have also gotten alot better at converting recipies to feed to Marix. I am not yet the veteran that Tish is, but give me a couple of years and I will be kicking hypoallergenic Booty just like her. I have to repent because I have been terrible at posting my recipies on our blog as I learn to make them. I started homeschooling my two older children this past school year and it has taken some adjustment. But I am back to functioning, and will post many more recipies.
