So I decided to start a blog since I'm a stay at home momma … and well I have allot of spare time. You guys will have to excuse my grammar, it was not my strong point in school. lol
So Ive decided to go completely organic,,, well as much as possible. Ive switched from plastic bottles to glass bottles, I bought all organic food at the grocery store and I'm starting to research on alternatives for medicine, bath products etc…. The only thing I'm a little nervous to try is cloth diapers : / . Abilil ( she got that nickname from my aunt, i love it! ) is such an explosive pooper … I'm a little nervous. But I'm lucky to have awesome influences on the whole cloth diapering! My sister and Kristen are definitely pros! But as soon as she can fit were going to try out the diapers Kristen gave us.
So I'm sure most of you know the whole deal with Abili and her Metabolic Disorder. Well if you don’t know, Abilil has been halfway diagnosed with Very Long Chain Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorder whew! Also known as VLCHAD. It means she cannon breakdown her long chain fatty acids into energy. So if she gets sick or goes a long period without eating her body gets in trouble. This we found out when she was only 5 days old, it was very scary!! As mom says : We spent the first weekend getting her here , and the next keeping her here! But she’s doing just fine now, happy and chubby! Her DNA sequencing showed one gene carrying VLCHAD. So this month she has to have a skin biopsy taken to see rather she’s just a carrier or has the disorder. As Jacob reminded me the other day , God will not bring you to anything he cannot walk you through. And of course I could not ask for a better Fiance to travel this journey with me , he has been the best! Love you Sky!
Well to wrap it up. I'm going to use this blog to not only update on Abilil’s status and what goes on day to day, but also on neat organic ideas and products I come across. Hope you guys stick around!
Love the blog! I am so glad you are doing it! You should look into a CSA subscription for your food. You could split one with Colie maybe, and it's a great way to get local organic food at a great price! Let me know if you need more info.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I was nervous about the cloth at first too, but now I prefer it. I'm actually switching to cloth menstrual supplies too. It sounds crazy, but I tried it today out of necessity (no pads in the house, but lots of diaper inserts haha), and was blown away by how well it worked!
She should fit into those diapers soon. Just try them on her-you may be surprised :)
Good job mama!
