It is still so rainy and cold here. I feel like Summer is just some place in my dreams that doesn't really exist. Both Adelaide and I have a bad cold so we are relaxing in the house today. It's a bit sad because today was supposed to be her first ballet class, but we need to stay home and rest and nap.
I learned a new trick with the bulb sucker though! - I put a bit of warm salt water inside and squirted it up her nose before I sucked everything out. I think it really helped!!! She is actually asking for me to suck her snot out with that thing these days...poor little thing!
I have been seeing a Naturopath and am relieved to learn that my feeling run down and tired all of the time is for good reason! My iron stores are LOW...almost non existent actually...so up with the iron. My vitamin D is VERY deficient! I knew that was normal for those that live in this part of the country, we never see the sun, and when we do it's at such an angle that we don't get as much D from it as our friends down south. But I am VERY deficient and taking quite a large dose to try and get my stores up. Both of these nutrients are so important for having good health and energy. The other problem is that my thyroid is under producing by a little bit...and my adrenal glands are taxed to their limits. These are all things that can happen when you have a new baby, from being pregnant and nursing (which I did for over 2 years) as well as the added stress, lack of sleep etc.... SO I am eating protein with every single meal, taking lots of supplements to get myself back to where I should be, and hoping that I will really tell a difference in the next few months.
