I’ve been gone from the blog for over a month because I had a baby!! It’s been crazy and exhausting and wonderful.
Elizabeth Scarlett Peterson Korikova everyone ( a pic from a couple of days old):
She was born August 6, at 3:21 am. 7lbs 6 oz with a full head of hair.
Me being extremely thrilled not to be pregnant anymore (1 week postpartum):
A month old baby!!:
I haven’t been on my computer since before August 6, I can’t find my charger (somehow my computer still has 46% percent on it, go Macs), but I’m slowly catching up to normal life.
I’ll update the blog slowly in the next couple of weeks. I’m going to write about:
- How my labour went
- What the last month has been like being a new mom
- The diet my dad is on and how it helped him
- IgG tests and why they’re not a scam (I’ll go into the science behind it a bit)
- New foods we’ve managed to reintroduce (plus the last reaction I had)
- Top foods to avoid if you don’t want to do a full elimination diet
- Ketosis and the ketogenic diet vs other diets (paleo, SCD, low carb, low FODMAP, low salicylate, vegetarian, vegan, etc.)
- Supplements and vitamins I take
- What I eat in a day
I’ll try to squeeze in as much writing as I can, I’m super busy. I’m working part time for my dad, cooking, cleaning, nursing 24/7 it seems, and I’m going to stick in 30 minutes of Russian a day. Oh and a university course. This is the third day I’ve been busy doing things. I managed to nurse, eat, do laundry, clean up the kitchen, look at my course, and start writing today. YAY back to normal-ish life.
Hopefully I can find my charger or this spree won’t last long.
Congratulations, Mikhaila! What a beauty little Liza is! I’ve never seen a newborn with so much hair!
Your blog has been a godsend to me. I’d be interested in hearing what a day of eating looks like for you (sort of like one of those “What I Eat in a Day” videos that are trendy right now on YouTube; there’s an idea for more YT views for your dad!). I’m especially stuck on breakfast ideas.
I’ll add that to the “to do” list, thanks!
Congratulations, what a super pretty baby!
Would you in your next blog maybe share what you ate during your pregnancy?
Much love from the netherlands!
Thanks! And I’ll add that to my list 🙂
My second daughter had hair like that! I’m glad you had a good home birth. It’s a very exciting and tiring time (breastfeeding) with a new baby. I also had two home births and breastfed two and three years respectively. One thing I wish I had known about back then was the Weston A Price Foundation recommendations for baby’s first foods, egg yolks and liver! So different from the normal recommendations of cereal grains! I have found that almost all of the WAPF recommendations have been good for my growing family. Good luck to you all. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/childrens-health/feeding-babies/
Such a sweet little baby. Congratulations.
Absolutely beautiful.
