Life

A few posts ago I wrote that I found out I was allergic to most foods out there. This is no lie! I always get extremely sick whenever I eat! My stomach gets extremely sharp pains in it, and I get super sick. Anyway, I found out that I was allergic to those foods, and I am supposed to be following a strict diet. Can I tell you how difficult it is to suddenly give up every food you love! The problem is, the foods I can eat, I have to basically eat them plain. I talked to my aunt Jaydene, who has the same problems as me, and she told me ideas of how to eat. But I haven't been grocery shopping yet, and so I haven't been following any kind of diet, and therefore have stayed sick! I am completely drained of energy, but even though I am in pain a lot, and have no energy, and stuff like that, I still have to live life. I am a mother and a wife. I have responsibilities, and I decided that no matter how sick I get, I can't use it as an excuse for not doing things. I think it is extremely important to support everyone, no matter how awful I feel. My opinion is that unless you are deathly ill and in the hospital, you have responsibilities in life. I just wanted to make that clear that is how I feel! I am probably going to post regularly on how my diet is going. I need to acknowledge it.

K next thing that is going on in life- I have a new niece! Addisyn was born 4 weeks early on May 20th! Everyone considers her a miracle baby, she knew she needed to get here and figured out a way to do it. My sister-in-law was involved in a car accident, and delivered her that night. She has to have C-sections. So as they cut her open and pulled little Addi out, her umbilical cord was in a full knot (I think that was the terminology they used) and if she had gone longer she may not have made it. She was 5 lbs 6 oz and 19 inches long, and is a healthy baby girl. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. She is the 15th grandchild in the Carbine family and 5th girl! The picture above was taken the day after Abbie's party when the whole family was together on May 18th. Mike and Janene are on the far right side, she is the one who had the baby 2 days later! She is so small huh!

Abbie's 1st Birthday

Here are the pictures I promised of Abbie Cadabbys birthday party. Abby Cadabby is one of the newest Sesame Street characters for those who don't know. The first picture is Abbie on her actual birthday, the party was 2 days later, so we could do it on a Saturday. Since we are living with Jons parents now, I told my mother-in-law I wasn't doing anything on Abbie's birthday so she went and bought hostess cupcakes, so Abbie could still have cake. Then the rest of the pictures are of her party. It was so fun! I got a pinata and we played water balloon volleyball. It was a blast!

Abbie's Invitation

So for Abbie's birthday party we are going to have an Abbie Cadabby Party, I used this for the invitation! I made it using Photoshop. After her party I will post more pictures!

California

Hi

So I know I haven't posted in like forever, maybe I will eventually get around to it. We sold our house, had to be out a week before we left for California, left for California, came home and I've finally started unpacking boxes. And it's Abbie's first Birthday this week so I am trying to get things done for that, plus right before we left for Cali, I found out that I was allergic to eggs, nuts, wheat, yeast, milk, soy, oranges, corn, and potatoes. I have been extremely sick lately and haven't known whats been going on, so that explains a lot! I can eat oats, rice, codfish, chicken, beef, and cocoa! I was excited about the cocoa part until I realized chocolate is made with soy or milk products! Anyway, within a week I will post pictures from our trip, move, and Abbie's birthday. I am still alive and doing alright though!
