Time

Time is something that I know we all wish we had more of.

As I hear my four year old sing her lullaby that I have sung to her since birth; it blows my mind how fast time with her has gone. Next year she will be leaving me; onto kindergarten. My baby is growing and I can not believe it. I feel like I was just bawling my eyes out in the hospital room, scared to take her home, wanting to stay there forever safe and sound. Now every day she surprises me. She has learned a lot from us. It is crazy. Shes a wonderful big sister, a wonderful daughter, and a great friend. I love my buddy.

Next year I will not be with her all day like I am blessed to be now. I know it is a normal feeling of anxiety that many mothers feel. I feel that because of her food allergies, and her eczema it is just a little tougher for me. Will she remember the rules about not eating food that others offer her, dont use soap when washing your hands because it will irritate your skin. Do not worry if you get itchy or people ask about why you are a little extra red today. What am I to do?! I want to be a fly on the wall all day and everyday; along with her little sisters. Is there a way we can all be in class together, forever. I hope an pray she will be OK. That her teacher understands my anxiety, her anxiety, that she lets her dance a little whenever she wants. I know asking for so much on my part; just trying to prepare myself almost a year to go but feel like it will be here before I am ready.

Probiotics, Eczema, Allergies

Well today will start the new journey with Probiotics. My little love bug has been having major issues with eczema. Before I even continue with the prescribed steroid creams I have been on a hunt for a natural solution. So far I have tried a few creams, that for sure have no fragrances, and today I will test out the probiotics I purchased for her. I have this habit of trying any medicine she will take because I want to make sure they are safe for her.
I have on many occasions read that Probiotics may help me clean her from the inside out. This I feel might be a turning point into helping her heal.

Due to being uninformed, new parent, and trusting that doctor knows best. I was told she was too young to do an allergy test on. Her father has a few allergies and I was always worried but mainly on shellfish and things like that. Now as a 1 year old she would eat everything, after breastfeeding, I transitioned her into Coconut Milk than Almond Milk. Not wanting to deal with all the hormones in cows milk. We now have a Moms Organic market around the area with grass fed cow milk so lets see if that returns to the picture later on.  I was giving her almond milk not knowing she had allergies to tree-nuts and peanuts. When I was told this I felt horrible. I did not know but I still feel that I caused much of the issues she is having because her little body could not deal with it anymore. For now I am becoming much more educated and for 2 I am making sure she is getting tested early.

Today is the start to a new treatment. I will for sure keep updates on how the probiotics are helping.
