Still around

Well, I'm still around, just tired and less inspired. I have a baby whose digestive tract and tummy are very sensitive. We're off tomatoes, citrus, pumpkin, etc, etc. Down to about 22 things I can eat, that don't seem to upset her. It's my own version of the TED or Total Elimination Diet. :)
It's been a lot harder to do this time, than with my third child. I'm not entirely sure why, but emotionally, it's harder.
On the plus side, she *isn't* a fussy baby, yay! She has a pleasant personality and loves to smile at us and laugh at her oldest sister. <3
If things don't clear up all the way, I'll be taking eggs out of my diet, which means I'd be free of the top 8, in addition to lots of other things.

If anyone's interested, here's what we can currently eat:
chicken
eggs 
green beans 
Snap peas
collard greens
cooked broccoli
avocado
lettuce 
cacao
coconut
peppers
spicy mustard
coconut milk
spinach
berries
hemp seeds
chia seeds
spices
brussels sprouts 
zucchini/summer squash
onions
garlic

With that list, I make smoothies, muffins, dark chocolate cookies and lots of roasted herbed chicken with sauteed in the chicken drippings veggies.
If I have to take eggs out, that'll cut down the muffins and cookies, but I'm sure I'll find something else to have as a dessert ;)
