Celebrating the Holidays with FPIES

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

Since Sweet Baby’s FPIES diagnosis I’ve tried to find out anything and everything I can about FPIES.  (new here? no worries! read our post – what is FPIES)  I would like to say I know all there is to know, but then I’d be lying.  There’s so much still unknown about FPIES since more research needs to be done and every single case is different. Our situation could be better or worse than the next.  One thing that doesn’t change is how we approach it in certain situations, or how much we let it control our lives.

Once you have children you tend to stop having those moments – the moments of being alone as a couple.  I’m going to be honest, everything we do involves Sweet Baby and even sleeping, as we co-sleep.  There’s sometimes when you just want to have those moments together again, but I can’t stand the thought of a babysitter (I can’t even handle being away from baby girl – who am I kidding?!) so hubby and I try to watch movies together before bed.  Sweet Baby almost always stays up with us so we don’t have that moment alone.  Sometimes a cup of coffee in the morning can bring us those sweet moments together.  When I prep ahead it’s perfect to save time so we can connect in the morning and share a few minutes before he heads off to work.

I know Sweet Baby loves to be worn and we’ve been using our Boba carrier since she’s been born.  What I didn’t realize is how much she’d like wearing her own baby doll.   She was thrilled to receive a Boba Mini for review.

If there’s one thing I miss more than my grandma’s hugs, it would have to be her food.  She could feed your belly while feeding your soul.  I miss our talks about food, we could go on and on talking about a new recipe.   Her signature dish, the one that could make you feel at home when you’re a million miles away was her salad dressing.  I make it for my family regularly, just like she did for us.  Star Pairings Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Vegetables worked beautifully as the oil in her recipe.  Grandma used to use vegetable oil and was very adimant about using only that, however she never had such a light olive oil meant just for her salad.  She would be not only impressed by the replacement, but delighted but the taste.
