Diet Jeruk Nipis Yang Benar, Diet Jeruk Nipis Untuk Ibu Menyusui, Diet Jeruk Nipis Dan Madu, Tak sedikit orang yang melakukan diet jeruk nipis untuk menurunkan berat badan. Bila selama ini Anda sudah diet ketat, namun belum melihat hasil yang memuaskan, maka cobalah melibatkan jeruk nipis dalam menu keseharian. Sama seperti perasan lemon, air jeruk nipis juga mengandung agen antibakteri, antijamur, dan antivirus alami. Oleh karenanya, mengonsumsi segelas air jeruk nipis/ lemon setiap hari sangat disarankan karena dapat meningkatkan kesehatan tubuh secara keseluruhan. Kalau membeli lemon dirasa terlalu mahal, Anda bisa menggantinya dengan jeruk nipis saja. Mengapa jeruk nipis dapat membantu menurunkan berat badan? Segelas air jeruk nipis hanya mengandung 11 kalori saja sehingga minuman ini takkan berdampak buruk pada berat badan, tidak seperti soda atau minuman manis lainnya. Di samping itu, air jeruk nipis juga merupakan sumber vitamin C yang dapat memenuhi 22% AKG. Menurut studi tahun 2006 yang dipublikasikan dalam Nutrition and Metabolism, vitamin C memegang peranan penting karena selain dapat mendongkrak imun tubuh, nutrisi ini juga dapat membakar lemak ketika seseorang sedang berolahraga. Sebenarnya kita dapat menurunkan berat badan hanya dengan minum banyak air putih setiap harinya. Namun kalau Anda ingin hasil yang lebih cepat, maka tambahkan perasan jeruk nipis ke dalam air. Selain membantu proses detoksifikasi dengan membersihkan liver dan memurnikan darah, jeruk nipis juga dapat memberi sifat alkali/ basa pada tubuh. Pertanyaannya sekarang, benarkah minum jeruk nipis saja sudah cukup untuk membantu menurunkan berat badan? Sebenarnya tidak demikian, mengingat ada banyak faktor yang menentukan berat badan seseorang. Para ahli malah menegaskan bahwa tidak ada makanan atau minuman yang apabila dikonsumsi sendirian, dapat menurunkan berat badan. Jadi, kalau Anda rutin minum air jeruk nipis di pagi hari, dan tidak menjaga pola makan. Dalam artian, Anda masih tetap mengonsumsi makanan hasil proses, minum soda dan alkohol, serta membiarkan diri stres, maka dampak alkaline dari jeruk nipis tadi takkan mampu membalikkan semua dampak buruk dari gaya hidup yang dijalani, sehingga penurunan berat badan takkan terjadi. Sekarang tidak perlu repot untuk menurunkan berat badan. Ada Fiforlif yang terbukti efektif untuk diet. Klik https://pusatdetox.com

One Year Ago

A year ago I was feeling off. I would wake up in the middle of the night nauseous and have to go downstairs to find some crackers to fight it off. Not thinking anything of it. 

A year ago I was drinking my morning coffee and it tasted like the best thing ever. Then the next day it made me horribly sick and I couldn't even handle the smell. 

I found myself in our closet crying because well our clothes were so disorganized and it was upsetting. 

I started to notice I was feeling oddly crampy and had the worst pain in my boobs I ever felt. I was feeling intense pms symptoms thinking that I was about to have the worst period of my life. 

A year ago I started to wonder...could I be pregnant? Am I? No because I feel like I'm about to start my period. 

I had a dream, about the most beautiful baby girl I have ever seen. 

A year ago my period was only a few days late. But it's usually right on time. I figured it was just from stress from the wedding and having a big life change. 

But I started to wonder...

I began to be extremely exhausted and I had to take a nap everyday after work just to make it through. 

A year ago, today I was at my parents with the whole family, and talking to my sister in law about how I was feeling. She told me that I should take a test, just to see. And as I finished eating gluten/dairy free pizza I felt so sick from it. I laid on the couch just praying I wouldn't throw up. 

I knew something was up. 

That evening I drove to Giant to get a test. Thinking the whole way there that I just knew something was going on. At least I prayed because I was becoming a very  sickly and hormonal person that if I wasn't pregnant, I needed some special therapy. 

I came home and immediately took a test. I wasn't going to look at it for a whole two minutes. 

As I set the test on the counter, I saw two little pink lines that changed my life forever. 

I stood in my bathroom in shock, tears streaming down my face, and shaking staring into the mirror. So many thoughts ran through my head. Excited, scared, happy, shocked to name a few. My heart raced as my husband called and said he was on his way home from work. Would I tell him right away? I placed the test on our bathroom counter and paced all around our house trying to calm myself down. Waiting for him to get home felt like the longest 20 minutes of my life. My husband walked through our door and I immediately told him to go upstairs into our bathroom. He spotted the test. 

A year ago my husband found out he was going to be a father. With tears in both of our eyes we hugged each other, and still couldn't believe it. We both wanted a baby but we wanted to wait just a little. 

God had other plans. 

A year ago, February 1st 2015, I found out I was pregnant.  As soon as I wrapped my mind that this was real and I wasn't dreaming. I started to pray. I prayed every single day, multiple times. I prayed for my baby to be healthy, grow strong, and be everything we wanted. 

A year ago I developed such a deep love for someone who was as tiny as a poppyseed but would grow as big as watermelon. Only to have our love grow even bigger before officially meeting. But I had not the slightest clue how much I would love my baby. 

"Before you were born

We dreamed of you

We imagined you

We prayed for you

Now that you're here

We hope for you

We love you, and we

Thank God for you

Every single day"

Ellexia Skye you are our world and you are everything and more that we prayed for. You may still be so little but the impact you have made in your mommy and daddy's life is truly incredible. 

You are such a blessing

A miracle

The best gift. Ever.

Ellexia's Name Meaning

One of the most exciting things about having a baby(besides having a baby ;) is choosing a name. I always had names picked out that I liked..what girl doesn't? But when it came time to actually name my baby. I started to not like anything. Choosing a name was fun, but also so challenging. Before we knew what we were having we looked at both boy and girl names. But for the life of me I just hated all boy names. I'm pretty sure that was my mother instincts working, because I just always had a feeling I was having a girl. As soon as we found out we were having a girl, picking out a name became tough. Mainly because both my husband and I are so stubborn we wouldn't agree on anything. We actually had her middle name picked out first, it was a compromise as well. Caleb always wanted to name his son Schylar but I don't like that name at all, especially not for a boy. We came across Skye, and we both liked it for a middle name. 

There are names that we both liked. So we made a list each and read what the other had and circled the ones we agreed on. Our list became smaller and smaller over time until we were down to our top picks. My husband's top pick was Alexia and mine was Elliana, and I wanted to call her Ellie. He wasn't against Ellie but didn't like Elliana. I liked Alexia, but I wasn't a fan of the spelling because I had my heart set on calling her Ellie as a nickname. I remember our ride home from the beach thinking how could we possibly make up our minds and agree on a name. Well it just hit me, what if we change the spelling of Alexia since I did like that name a lot, to Ellexia. And then I can still call her Ellie. We both win. Of course he had to sleep on it. He always said that he would only call her Ellexia, but now that she's here, he calls her Ellie. And he has admitted to that she just looks like an Ellie. So once we wrote out the full name it just felt like that was our baby girl's name. Once we agreed we sat on it for a few days before revealing to family her name. Only family and close friends knew her name, just because we both didn't want to reveal her name publicly until she was born. And I'm so glad because it made announcing her arrival even more special.  

Does her name have a meaning? Yes, of course. Even though the spelling is changed, it still has the same meaning. So here's a breakdown of her name 

Ellexia- Defender of man, helper

Ellie- bright shining one. Light

Skye- Sky

Ruth- This is my mom's maiden name. There weren't any boys in her family to carry on the name. So she put it in my name. And I always said if I have a girl, I will put it in her name. 

I love her name but I already get funny looks because I'll tell people we call her Ellie and they don't understand until I explain how her first name is spelled. Sorry baby girl for giving you a name people will always ask you how to spell. But your mommy has dealt with the same thing, and it'll be ok <3 I hope she grows up loving her name as much as we do. She's defiantly the bright shining sky of our world. 

❤️

Three Month Update

Happy THREE months baby girl!

She's officially considered an infant and not a newborn anymore. Excuse me while I just shed tears over that fact. She has grown so much. I already miss my tiny little baby that would just sleep all day long, and who couldn't even fit into newborn clothes. But on the other side of things, I love seeing her grow and learn new things. Seeing the world through a baby's eyes is amazing. Everything to them is new and wonderful that they just take everything in. Every month I try my best to look back on the day she was born and remember everything that happened. I never thought I would forget so much considering I had it a lot harder. But I truly only remember bits and pieces. 

I know I'll never forget the moment I met her. That moment was worth all of the pain and exhaustion.

Her little personality is really starting to come through. She loves to be talked to and she'll respond back mainly with squeals and smiles. I keep track of her growth and if she's meeting milestones through different apps. This girl is only three months but she is acting like she's four and half months...I think I may have my hands full the older she gets ;) but you keep on learning little girl!  I'll probably say this all the time. But watching her grow and learn just really is incredible. 

Seriously having a little girl is the best! Getting to dress her up and take pictures is just so fun. It helps that I have a little model on my hands that enjoys it! But she is defiantly a little diva because she will let me know as soon as she's done and had enough of pictures. 

Weight: 11 pounds. 

Height: 21 3/4 in

Eye Color: Still a pretty blue. 

Hair Color: Light brown/blonde AND ladies and gentlemen...it has some red in it now!! 

Diaper Size: Size 1!

Clothes Size: I had to officially put away all of her newborn clothes...so sad. She wears 0-3 months most of the time. But some of her pants are 3-6 months.

Sleep: During the day I'm lucky if she sleeps an hour. But she usually takes an evening nap that is two hours. At night she goes 3-4 hours stretches. We had one 7 hour stretch and that was amazing. But I think she was/is going through a growth spurt.

Eating: Every 2-3 hours during the day. Night is 3-4 hours. She has a semi-schedule down. 

Likes: Being talked to. Her toys, especially her owl. She just snuggles up with it. Still loves going places. She's such a good baby when I have errands to run. Loves to be naked and have her belly tickled. 

Dislikes: Hates going to sleep. She will fight it so much. 

Still throws a fit when she gets dressed but not as much. 

Milestones: She will rollover now! But not everytime she's on her belly. She's been reaching out to grab things. And she especially loves to feel her blankets and toys. It's cute because she will watch her hand open and close. She's been holding her head up so well now. We got some giggles going on to. Oh how I can't wait for the first real belly laugh!

Firsts: She had her first daddy-daughter day and loved being with her daddy all day. Celebrated her first Christmas and got to bring in the New Year. You can read about those here

Personality: She is such a little ham. She smiles and giggles all the time. She just is a social butterfly and loves seeing people and being talked to.

Ellie's 1st Christmas and New Years

Friday December 25th, 2015

Ellie's first Christmas! 

I know she's not going to remember her first Christmas but I will and I had planned to take pictures all day. But that was an epic fail because both Caleb and I were  sick with colds and just didn't remember. I did get a few pictures and at least we got some as a family of three. 

Since we all were feeling better by New Year's Eve we defiantly partied. Especially since it was Caleb and I's one year wedding anniversary! Getting to bring in the New Year with my little family was just so fun and I'm so excited for what this year will bring. And no, we are not planning on having another little baby. I can't even tell you how many people ask me that! Like I want to enjoy every milestone Ellie goes through and just give her 100% of my attention. 

So here's some pictures of our Christmas and New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve

And milk drunk by 10 pm. She knew how to party!

I can't believe the holidays came and went just like that. But having a child makes the holidays seem more magical. 

I can't wait for next year!

2 Months

Some one is super happy and excited to be 2 months old!

(Mismatched socks...because if you've ever washed baby socks. You'd understand)

Our little turkey. Celebrated her first Thanksgiving 

With her cousin who is just three weeks younger than her. They are seriously adorable.

She just adores her daddy

These past two months have been filled with so much love and joy. And of course have flown by. It's weird because two months have gone by so fast but at the same time it doesn't seem like that long at all. 

I'm just amazed every day with this little girl. She may be only two months but she definitely is a baby who likes to be on the go. Our daily routine consists of at least one outing. I've been to Target so much recently, and have spent way to much money because um how am I supposed to avoid her clothes? As long as we go out she is really content and will take a nice long nap when we get home. Makes us both happy. I definitely have the cutest shopping buddy! 

Exactly two months ago today, after 28 hours of the worst pain I have ever experienced. This little princess arrived into the world and changed my life. I will never forget that day or everything I went through. But I'd do it all again for her. Being her mommy is the greatest blessing. 

2 months old

December 16th, 2015

Weight: 9-9.5 pounds. She's such a little girl. But she's defiantly getting some chunk and has the cutest little rolls. 

Height: 21 3/4 in

Eye Color: Blue! Over the past month they have been getting more blue and everyone keeps saying they'll be blue. And the doctor who delivered her said she's going to have blue eyes! Neither Caleb or I have blue eyes but they do run in both our families. 

Hair Color: Light brown/blonde 

Diaper Size: Size 1!

Clothes Size: Some of her newborn clothes still fit but others are to small. But she's fitting into more of her 0-3 months

Sleep: During the day maybe 2 hours. But if we go somewhere she takes a longer nap. She loves car rides. Night time...she hasn't gotten on any schedule yet. 

Eating: Every 2-3 hours during the day. At night she can sometimes go for four hours. But she's constantly growing still so I don't expect her to have any routine yet. She eats when she's hungry. Even if it might have been an hour ago. 

Likes: Bathtime is her favorite! Also car rides and going places. She is mesmerized by the Christmas tree. She just loves looking all around. She just smiles so much when she's talked to. Also she has mastered the squeal. It's pretty adorable. Loves to sleep on mine or Caleb's chest and be all snuggled.
Dislikes: Hates going to sleep. She will fight it so much. Seriously little girl, you're going to adore sleep one day...

Lately she has been throwing a royal fit when she gets dressed.
Milestones: She ALMOST rolled over! She just couldn't quite get those legs to move. But I think soon she'll be. She's really starting to focus on objects and tries to reach for them. She's so active already and just seems so curious about the world around her.
Firsts: I started work, so this is the first time she's been away from me. I don't know who is more upset, me or her? I'm so grateful that I only have to work part time so I don't have to be away from her to long. She also calmed down and fell asleep on her daddy for the first time. Usually she only wants me to so I'm glad she is learning that she can be comforted by her daddy. Ellie also celebrated her first Thanksgiving. She ate and slept like most people do on Thanksgiving 😉
Personality: She is such a sweetheart! I can't wait to see how her personality develops. 

10 Things I Wish I Knew About Postpartum

So during my pregnancy each week I read a few different apps as to what was going on. And I read a few books. Things that prepared me for each week. Also I read a lot about labor and delivery. 

What I didn't read a lot about was recovering. And what would happen after the baby is born. There is a lot out there about this topic. But I just didn't feel like it was that necessary. I'm such a naive first time mom, huh? If you're a first time mom-to-be I highly suggest you research about what happens to your body after the baby is here. And especially if you're having a hospital birth, it's a good idea to have an idea of what they do after your baby is born. 

Every recovery is different, just like every birth is different. Some have an easy time and some have a hard time. Since I had a pretty hard labor and delivery, my recovery hasn't been a breeze either. So here a few things that happened to me afterwards that I was so clueless about. 

1. Body Shakes- Lucky for me, my whole body shook the moment I got admitted to the hospital. But that has always been my way of showing nerves for some reason. What I didn't know is that it would become uncontrollable and hurt. And get worse right after the baby is born. It's your body's way of dealing with all the hormones. My entire body was so sore for a week after. 

2. Swollen Legs- My whole pregnancy I didn't deal with being swollen. Well apparently if you're pumped full of fluids during labor your legs will swell so much. And they'll also feel like 20 lbs each. My doctor kindly told me that it'll go away in three weeks. THREE WEEKS?! I was terrified l. Thankfully after just a week they're back to normal. 

3. Dignity- Yup, you'll lose that and not feel ashamed. There was a lot of things that I used to care about that went out the window after I had Ellie. I basically was useless the first few days and could barely bathe or dress myself. Caleb was the biggest help and never once refused..no matter what I asked of him. 

4. Bleeding- Okay, I knew that I would bleed a lot. But what I didn't know is that while in the hospital nurses would press on my stomach and push out blood every so often....as if I wasn't tired of pain already. They have to make sure your uterus is going back down and it's not like they press to hard, but after going through labor and delivery. It's not a nice feeling. I didn't want anyone touching me after I gave birth...so it was just miserable. And they aren't kidding when they say you'll be wearing a diaper. But after putting in healing tuks pads and pain reliving spray, I had not a single care about what I was wearing, at the time. 

5. Aches and pains- After delivery I experienced the worst body aches. And they didn't go away until the second week. I literally felt like my whole body was beaten up. I actually looked like it because I bruise so easily and I had a lot of IVs in both arms so I had so many bruises. And if you have back labor, or something happens to your back during labor. Be prepared for it to hurt really bad afterwards. I see a chiropractor and I highly suggest going to one after you give birth to set your spine back into place. 

6. Cramps and contractions- I don't think I knew about this. When I got home from the hospital I started having the worst cramps I have felt. Thankfully I know quite a few people who have given birth that reassured me that they're normal and it's just everything contracting into place. But I seriously thought I was about to have another baby....(yes, I'm pretty dramatic) 

7. Breastfeeding- This is probably a whole other post within itself. But I never knew how hard breastfeeding was. And I'm talking about the pain. I think I have forgotten all about the birth pain because every time I fed Ellie I just cringe because it hurts so bad. I was told the first few weeks are the worst so I just did everything I could to distract myself...."conceal...don't feel...."

8. Emotional Mess- While I was pregnant, I actually didn't have crazy mood swings. Of course I could be moody here and there but not the "typical" pregnancy mood swings you hear of. The week after I had Ellie...I cried. A lot. Anything would put me in tears. Most of the time it was just looking at her. Poor Caleb would ask me what's wrong and I would say I have no clue. We would end up laughing about it because I was warned that I would be flooded with emotions. Of course I thought that I would be in the clear since I handled pregnancy emotions well. Nope. I wasn't. And I still will cry over things. Mainly unknown. 

9. Exhaustion- Not only are you trying to recover...but you have a little life that you have to care for. Most newborns have their days and nights mixed up, so you can kiss a goodnight's sleep goodbye for a long time. I have never felt so tired but yet I still find energy to take care of her. It's a weird feeling. But I certainly long for a night's sleep without interruptions. And sleeping when the baby sleeps? Uhhh yeah that's not possible when I know have things to do like clean, laundry, make food, shower, and  etc. Even though I should rest more because I can't recover unless I'm rested. 

10. Your body- It's hard to describe. But you will not feel like you even know your body. Which makes sense because you just went through so many changes in a matter of hours. And the feeling of "normal" won't return for weeks but it slowly comes back. 

In the end of it all. You will feel the most deep indescribable love for someone. And everything that you're feeling kind of just goes away. You're putting someone else's needs before your own and I think that's why it's easy to forget all the pain that we just went through. And even though I had a really hard labor and delivery, it was all worth it for my daughter. I would go through it all again, just for her.
