The part of my diet that I'm going to try to change, besides restricting caffeine, is to eat gluten free foods. Now you all know that I'm a big ole hypochondriac, and I will not hesitate to self-diagnose myself with some sort of disease :) Well, I don't know how I ran across it, but Celiac disease can cause unexplained infertility, as well as several other problems. I read a study where 15 women, ages 22-64, who had been diagnosed with unexplained infertility, went on GF diets...within 2-24 months, 14 out of the 15 conceived...guess which one didn't...the 64 year old! With those numbers, it's definitely worth a shot to me! I have not gone to the doctor to get tested, but I thought that I could definitely just change the way I eat, and eliminate gluten from my diet, and we'll just see how I feel, and above all, if I get pregnant! If any of you have experience eating gluten free, I would love recipes, a food list, etc. I'll keep you updated on my progress.
In other parts of my world, my family and I are dealing with putting my grandparents into long term care. It has been a tough start to the new year for all of us, and I would appreciate prayers on behalf of my family. We're still far from over this hump.
This Saturday, the 13th, my sweet Nephew John-Bradley will celebrate his 3rd birthday! I can't believe he's about to be 3!! We will be in Prattville Saturday for the festivities of his birthday, and my precious cousin Ashton's bday, who will be 2 on Friday! I'll definitely dedicate a blog post to the 2 of them this week :)
Oh, and I almost forgot something extremely important...I won 12 coupons for FREE Krispy Kreme donuts from iheartpublix!! Josh asked if we could use all 12 at one time and get a free dozen ;) I don't know that this will be on the gluten free diet, but I know a couple of people to share the coupons with!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Y'all are in our prayers. I'm sorry about your grandparents. I hope you can get all that sqaured away soon and they will be happy in their new place. Hoping this is a much more stress-free month for you. :)
As far as the gluten-free diet... I'm obviously no help. I'm guessing that means no glucose, like restricting sugar? I'd love to hear some of the things you have to cut out of the diet. I could probably stand to cut some of them out myself!
And if I ever suspect I have come down with any type of syndrome or disease, you will be the first I call Dr. J. :) Just kidding with ya!
I'm so sorry about your grandparents. They are such a sweet couple!
Your post about changing your diet reminded me that right before I got pg w/ Elle (I was actually already pf, just didn't know it) my MIL bought me some Pomegranate juice. She had read where that helps you get pg...wouldn't hurt to try.
Keeping you guys in our prayers!
Amanda, I will keep you in my prayers as well. I do understand the pain you are going through with your grandparents. My family is currently taking care of my grandmother who has alzheimers and it is getting harder each day. It seems like when it rains it pours, but but I'm sure the clouds will part soon. And when they do, we will have to get our baby's together for a play date so we can finally meet!
Amanda...I am so sorry to hear about your BFN :( I know how much you were longing for that POSITIVE!!!
Please let me know about this diet...you KNOW I am interested!
