Happy Easter
Happy Easter to All - Have a great Sunday! I haven’t been online much lately and it is evident here as I have not posted in some time.The morning sickness (all day sickness) has pretty much gone 100% now and I am eating like a champ again. LOL. I feel huge, but this is my second and I never really did get back into the swing of excercise, but was I ever in the swing?…Anyhow, I have felt the baby kick once, and feel the little whisper light movements other times. I love the feeling of the baby kicking and moving and look forward to feeling it more regularly. The only thing I don’t really look forward to is the hiccups - those drove me nuts and would keep me awake at night :PRobbie is dealing with another nasal thing- thick, green mucos running from his nose all the time. The poor kid has been having a hard time breathing and his cheeks and upper lip are getting red and sore from the dripping. Today his cheeks are so bright red.I just placed an order for some more natural products for him - a natural childrens toothpaste and a natural hand sanitizer. I don’t like the purell since it has so many unsafe chemicles in it. I’ve been trying to slowly get rid of items that have caustic chemicles in them, but it is becoming difficult - replacing all our products is getting expensive, so I may have to slow down a bit. Overall, I feel like we’ve made some good changes and I know better what things I want to change once we have more funds available. Things that I didn’t think would be too bad, were actually really bad for our health and that made me sad - to think that we are still using such nasty items on our skin. There is a website for those interested that will show you what products contain and how they are rated for safety. My goal is to keep all our products in the 0-2 range. My shampoo that I currently use is rated somewhere around a 5-6 I think and I am anxious to try something new there - but I have such dry hair and I’ve tried to switch to a natural product before only to have my hair become very dry, heavy and hard to comb through. I just read today that if you have longer hair (longer than shoulder length) that it can be harder to switch over. I don’t think I will be cutting my hair short anytime soon, so I may have to play around with some other products to find what works…so here is the web link - http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com/.It really is a great resource for those who want to clean up their skin care or that of their children/baby.
