being "crafty"

So because everyone is having babies, and I'm trying to keep myself sane, I've been as Rickey would say it being "crafty", I've only taken pictures of a couple of my crafts so far, but there will be more to come. I have been sewing a lot, I always make blankets and burp rags, but I've recently learned to make car seat covers, nursing covers, binky holders, bracelets, and I'm starting to learn how to make headbands and I am absolutely loving every minute of it!!! I would love to learn how to make cart/high chair covers and onesies and all sorts of other baby things, but I've got to find some patterns first. If you are reading this and you want to join in the fun, let me know, or even if you want any of what I make, just let me know.

Hospitals

I must admit I'm a slacker at keeping up on my blog, but these past two months have been filled with stress. Rickey hurt his knee back in July and had to have a scope, he had his scope on the 13th and everything went well, but by sunday he was having some stomach pains and was really hurting so we brought him to the er where they admitted him because his liver levels were so high, but by tue, he was doing better so they sent him home. But to our dismay, he started hurting again wed night and so we came back and t hey gave him meds, made him comfortable and sent him home. unfortunately, the pain didn't stay away and we were back thur and sat by then I was so ready for it all to be done. they made him comfortable yet again and sent him home. He was doing so much better and I thought, yay, we're making progress, unfortunately, we had another set back cause by tuesday the pain came back and we were back once again, they ended up just sending him home again, but also referred him to the gastro doc. we went and met with him and he had said that maybe we could wait it out, but we said no way. The doc said there was a procedure he could do that would possibly fix whatever was wrong, (thinking it was just the sphincter of odie) so we thought let's give it a try. well surgery went well, but when he came out of anesthesia, he was in pain again so the doc said, they were gonna keep him overnight and now here we sit, still waiting for answers. his pancreas levels are good and his blood counts look good, but it still seems like no one can tell us what is wrong, all they can tell us is, "well it's not.." I am so frustrated I could just scream!!! Rickey isn't having the best time either, he's been poked and prodded so many times it's a wonder he still has blood left to give. We are waiting on the doctor and are hoping and praying he goes home today. sorry for the somber update, but this has literally been the story of our life these last two months.
