I feel your pain. I have been off dairy, soy and gluten for sometime now. It gets easier as you go and I am sure Nora appreciates it :) If you need any good substitutes, I can give you some tips.
I had to do the same thing with Luke. It is so hard but, like Lori said, it gets easier everyday. Especially as you see Nora's changes with it, which I hope you see. Good Luck!
i think that ice cream looks like a picture from heaven -anna you better be back on your regular diet by the time rite aid rolls around in july. black cherry. -hudd oh, and GAYS! - anna
I'm so sorry to hear that she is so unhappy! I hope the diet works out. I think I would be miserable without cheese and ice cream, but it would be worth it for sleep. Good luck!
i was the same way as a babe. my mom went off the dairy and it still did me no good, i just cried and cried for the first few months. even when i was a teenager and my mom talked about it her face would cloud over with exhaustion, you poor mommy you.
the good news is that i grew out of it and turned out pretty darn awesome.
Ok...had all these same problems with Hallie. My favorite nursing book is "The nursing mothers companion". I know you probably get advice from everyone under the sun, but the biggest "offenders" of making babies sick are: caffiene, garlic, onion, and chocolate. The one I discovered was making Hallie sick was garlic. You would be surprised about what has garlic in it. I had to read every food label under the sun before I could eat it, and that usually ruled it out. Anyways, I don't know if you have already tried cutting those other foods out...but if you haven't it might be worth a try also.
As soon as I read the sentence that you were off dairy I thought of Rite Aid mint chocolate chip ice cream. I do not envy you right now, although seeing all the cute pictures and videos of Nora really makes me want a baby. Hope things get better soon.
don't know how you do it, sarah. you are a trooper, that much is for sure! she is such a cutie though...keep up your posts, it's fun to hear what you're doing and thinking :)
I am totally with you on the diet thing! I gained like 30 pounds since Jarom and I got married and I have NO excuse. No baby, no big drama, just happiness and total control over the kitchen. (= I'm on a diet again too and have lost 15 pounds so far, only about 20 more to go. Whoo! (= You can do it.

Good luck! We should get together again soon. Either the 4 of us or the 6 of us. Kate keeps asking about Nora.
Sarah, I am so sorry she is such a non-sleeper! And I am so sorry dairy is out. Sad day.
All my sleepy thoughts to you and Nora!

That is a challenge to not eat dairy. I would be having major withdrawals, especially with cheese! I hope that your happy Nora returns soon:)
