Update on Amelia

Hello Blog Friends!

I have been reading all your blogs, but I haven't had a lot of time to post. : (  Miss Amelia keeps me busy.  Very busy.

  • Here is a picture of her at six months.  I made this dress from the Leila and Ben Sweet Dress pattern.  I added the lace insertion just because the piece of blue fabric I was working with wasn't big enough to cut the sleeves.  It turned out to be a fortuitous problem because I really liked the result.  
  • I'm working on the Easter dress.  And when I say working, I mean the Easter dress fabric is folded neatly on my sewing table.  Uncut.  Thankfully we have a backup dress! ;)  
  • My babe has decided that naps are for wimps.  She often takes two 15 minute naps a day and that's it.  She wakes up perfectly energized and happy though!  That's why blogging has gone out ze window.  I hope to get back to it more regularly though! 
  • We found out that the scary problem she had at four months was a reaction to her dtap vaccine.  Scary!!!  The hospital never even considered it to be a vaccine reaction even though I asked ever single doctor if it was a possibility.  It took me googling to find out that she had an HHE (hypotonic hyporesposive episode).  Her pediatrician concurred.  Anyone else have a child with a severe vaccine reaction??
  • Levi is still a good and handsome boy.  Well, he's handsome all the time and good most of the time.  I think we need a Levi update soon!
Thanks for stopping and reading!  Have a lovely day!

  2. I was just thinking of you and hoping I'd see a post soon! :-) Miss Amelia is absolutely precious -- those eyes! *melts* And her little dress is just darling (what a clever idea with the lace insertion).

    So glad to hear that you're all doing well!

    Blessings,
    Shannon

  3. So glad to hear you are doing well! Amelia is so gorgeous! I love the idea for the lace insertion, I have a pattern very similar to that and I might have to try that. I had a bad reaction to the MMR vaccine as a child, so we are very cautious and slow in doing Evangeline's. Sorry you had to go through such a scary time.

    Blessings!

  6. Thanks for the update Keri! Amelia is just lovely and I can totally relate to the brief napping..blech! Hoping she will decide napping is blissful soon ;-)
    Vaccines are always a toss up it seems. They make me nervous though none of my children have ever had bad reactions. I am so glad that Amelia is doing well now.

    Lots of love,
    Sommer

  7. Hello, Keri,
    It is so neat to see inside the world of a new mother...Amelia is a dear :) It will be fun to read further as the weeks and months go by. I happened to be visiting a few blogs to learn more for my blog, and am impressed that the Lord is raising up an incredible harvest of young people to serve the Lord through their family! I am grateful, for our culture desperately needs a renewed focus on the Almighty and His values.
    Blessings to your little family,
    Jacqueline
