Soyagera journey into healthier living

The Little Sprout, one month old

So…………………………………

All this healthy living paid off! Our little Sprout arrived as the sun rose one Friday morning in May, weighing in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. and 21 3/4″ long!  The boy gained two pounds in a week and is growing healthily! He’s alert, happy, and may I say it without jinxing myself? Mellow. He cries when he’s hungry, gassy, or just tired–that’s it. We’ve been blessed with a fantastic baby but I can’t help but say that I know my healthy eating habits, paired with a desire to avoid negative energy, getting acupuncture, and having a great, supportive birth center experience didn’t contribute to little Sprout’s state of mind, too.

I’ll admit that I had a fear that Irony would play a hand in this parenting game and deal us a child with some sort of “problem” debunking all our efforts at health and a natural birth. Thankfully, health-wise, Sprout is just…perfect (C’mon! He’s my sweet baby boy! What else could I say?!)

Because there are enough baby-related/parenting/vegan blogs out there, I hope not to take the route of eco-veg-mommy blogger and keep this blog focused on eco- and health issues that focus on everyone. Admittedly, the blogging has gone by the wayside as I figure this motherhood thing out.
