The Haps

Hey guys, I know it's been a while, in fact I think this has been the longest while in between posts since I first started blogging. This post could get a little long, I will try to round it out with some pictures.

Nate and I spent the week before the 4th of July as well as the week of the 4th of July in eastern Pennsylvania for a wedding and to visit family. The wedding was in Lancaster so we hung out with the Amish (not really, we hardly encountered any Amish). We stayed with my 90 year old grandmother and my uncle came up to visit while we were there, a few aunts and their families visited too.

On the TTC front, I'm now on CD 13 of Starting over cycle 1. We're trying to make some dietary changes to further improve our odds of TTC as well as trying to ward off regrowth of endometriosis. We are changing to a wheat free dairy free diet. 

Changes I've made so far:

almond milk instead of skim milk

no bread or sourdough instead of wheat bread

changed to dairy free cheese

use silken tofu instead of cream or milk in some recipes

eat out less and choose dairy free/wheat free options when possible

Here are some of the things I've done recently too:

Homemade granola, I even dried and chopped my own plums

Fresh zucchini from our garden in our yard

Tried a new recipe, but used wheat/dairy substitutes original recipe courtesy of DRMama @ Life amongst the palm trees

Here's hoping this is the cycle that succeeds. But I think we will keep trying to abide by these dietary changes either way.
