Morning ladies. I feel like crap. I hope its just a quick bug and not strep but I feel like Im swallowing razor blades and coughing a ton and it hurts SO bad to cough.

That stocking is awesome!!!

I almost regret knitting such a big stocking, now I'm going to feel obligated to fill it 2 more to go.

That is awesome! I would love to knit one for each of the kids but my knitting skills are not there yet.

I hope you start feeling better soon.


Today I'm going to finish the legs of my NB longies, I'm going to do a FFS Lotto for them this week.

Here is a link to early signs of autism: http://www.autismspeaks.org/whatisit/milestones.php

No, he started out as an easy going babe. He got his first ear infection at a month old and then it all went down hill. He started comfort nursing at night so he was getting up all of the time. He would wake up screaming and just was miserable. I have taken him in soooo many times because I swore he didn't feel good. Most of the time he had an ear infection and a few times it was right before he got one. Finally he got tubes in June but he still seems like he's in pain. I don't know if it has just become habit from being in pain for so long or not. I don't think it's autism because he engages with us too much and seems right on developmentally. It's just the lack of sleeping and screaming and arching of his back that has me worried.

Oh Maria I would never judge you. You have to do what is best and safest for him and what is best and safest for your entire family. I think I might pester my doctor to see if something else is going on.

Good morning gentleman! I need to go start my diapers, the rinsed last night but that is as far as I made it. I need coffee and to get everyone ready for church on this end too.

That's awesome! I might have to make some of those. One a year though.
I think lining it wouldn't be too hard. You would make the lining, shove it in and hand stitch around the top. That way you can pull the lining out to clean it better.

Mmmmm sounds yummy! and I am having a heck of time finding just elmo fabric locally. I am going to have to try online. I found some with Zoe and some purple one on it too but not just elmo.

Ack Emily that sounds like Strep. I have only had it once and it felt like I was swallowing tooth pick shards.

That Stocking is awesome! Good Morning everyone. I haven't been doing much. I finished a pair of longies, ran out of sock yarn 3/4 way through the 2nd sock, have to get some buttons for my Elizabeth Tunic, & am eagerly awaiting my DBK Honey crisp.

Does he have reflux or silent reflux? Back arching, inability to sleep laying flat, and lots of screaming are classic reflux symptoms too.

We are trying out some Zantac right now and it seems to be helping a little but not a lot. They just upped his dosage since he has grown so much since they initially prescribed it. Maybe I should try that for a week or so and see if that seems to help. Maybe the bigger dose will be all he needs. That would be soooo awesome!

Morning, all!
