Dare I say it?

I feel like I am about to jinx myself, but I'm going to admit it anyway.

I feel like I have a new baby.

I feel like poor Lucy has been in pain since she was born. She's had tummy troubles constantly and acid reflux that have both kept her from eating, sleeping, and breathing well much of the time. We finally got a prescription for her acid reflux and that has made a huge difference in that area. She still had the tummy troubles though. Though very skeptical, I finally decided to give an elimination diet a chance. It takes at least a week for improvements to show, and lo and behold, a little over a week later and Lucy has not had any tummy troubles and has been able to eat, sleep, and breathe in peace, not pain! I don't really know if it's this diet for sure that's doing the trick, or just her reflux medicine helping that too, or her "growing out of it," but whatever it is I feel SO relieved. I am sure Lucy does too. Now we just have to hope that this really is the end of her constant pain and not just a little break. Either way, we've had a great few days!! In fact, this is how we've felt about it all:
