But, no, I´m here and can´t help but right a quick comment to start of another sunny day in violent mexico (jijiji, sad but true, and can´t help but make a joke or 2...or rhyme...). My family and i adjusted our diets drastically after my son got sick. He´s allergic to almost everything man made... which, to be honest, includes lots of poison we´re just used to seeing, digesting, or just don´t know we´re eating. To make it short, to save his life, we started reading and readjusting. Life was complicated at first, then it just got easier, and now we have chickens in the backyard!!!! Change grows on ya! Good luck with the new diet!

My partner and I would like to have another baby. I felt very ill at night time for 2 weeks...same as my pregnancies with my other two children. My period was a week late and I was uncharacteristically emotional and moody. I had a sneaking suspicion that I may be pregnant, but decided to wait till the weekend to see if my period came, and sure enough I started to get some spotting that weekend so thought it was on it's way. I didn't do a test. The spotting lasted a few days and stopped. I still had terrible nausea. Two days later, the period to end all periods started...and nausea and pain like none I had ever experienced. I spent the next week in bed and all of the nausea ended with the conclusion of my period. Even though I never did a test, I am pretty sure I had a miscarriage. It's the only thing that makes sense, especially having had one before. I felt so sad, and I still feel sad, but I am kinda glad that it remains in limbo as my miscarriage I did know about totally destroyed me. <br /><br />Well, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and that I am really feeling for you Rachel...I don't know what else to say but to send you my prayers and positive thoughts. And, I hope that next time you go through the endless days of testing with those little sticks it has a much happier ending for you.<br /><br />Love to you...<br /><br />Karen xxKaren M.

I'm not going totally carb-free, but I'm going to eat more natural foods and cut out the grains and bad carbs. <br /><br />We'll see how it works!Breeanna @ a brilliant melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712037963944818016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-64652299284031641422011-03-06T17:32:04.759-06:002011-03-06T17:32:04.759-06:00a giant e-hug to ya!

I commend you for trying the paleo diet, it is hard to take the plunge, but I have heard so many success stories, and everything I've read about why it works makes so much sense. If you're on a good track now, I don't want to mess you up, but you may want to look at the primal diet, which is VERY much like paleo, but a little modified and some people find it easier. For one, I think you are allowed creamer in your coffee. Anyway, the site marks daily apple has lots of great information on it. Best of luck to you!Beth Haydonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531013192345370670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-40173619652500529322011-03-05T22:20:18.232-06:002011-03-05T22:20:18.232-06:00Thanks for sharing this.

I felt a little crazy after I found out I wasn't pregnant because I'd been having legitimate nausea for a week. I still don't know if it was just the combination of stress and wishful thinking, or a pregnancy that didn't take. Funny the timing, how people speak to an experience you are having.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005975478277838971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-3868931678430533062011-03-05T21:51:25.246-06:002011-03-05T21:51:25.246-06:00I love reading your blog...and a lot has to do wit...I love reading your blog...and a lot has to do with honest posts like this. <br /><br />Bummer on the no cream...that is a hard one.AshleyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725126671710919642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-90961349494595864612011-03-05T18:24:59.671-06:002011-03-05T18:24:59.671-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Happyinthehibiscushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932841558431103488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351644930286151865.post-44422674951695460712011-03-05T18:23:56.631-06:002011-03-05T18:23:56.631-06:00Aw!
