Sorry I didn't read through all the posts I missed-a bit tired and afraid that I will zone out into zombie land by reading this am....I did see the quilt-It is gorgeous LK!!! And we had a tornado warning too with the cyclone over MN. Had 3 bags to take with us downstairs of baby and animal stuff-mom was laughing at my preparedness;) They said that this has happened 6 times in history-the worst being in 1918, this one was 2nd worst and the #5 was the storm that sank the Edmund Fitzgerald.

So last week we took Jonathan to the pumpkin patch (I think I told you all about that) and the next night he started getting a matted eye. I freaked of course and wanted to take him to the Dr the next am, mom said it was probably the wind and to just wash it out with a warm cloth every time he wakes for a feeding. After several times of that it got all better, so I was able to stop freaking out. That day we went to my grandparents 3 hrs away. It was an OK visit. My grandma is a bit hunched over and her hands are shaking and the strength in her arms wasn't good enough to feed Jonathan-she gave it a good try, but I had to help her a bit. My grandpa is the same jerk he's always been (told me I looked really fat and asked if I was pregnant again), but I think his mind is starting to go a little. He said he wouldn't recognize Chris if he saw him on the street that he looked so different (the only thing different is that he wears his hair a little shorter) and he didn't know who my cousin's kids were.....we stayed a couple of hrs then drove back so I wouldn't have to drive at night since I am always exhausted.

On Monday I went out and ran a few errands while Mom stayed here with Jonathan and one thing I got was fabric to make her a rag quilt for Xmas. She said she really liked mine and wanted something cheerful. See pic below for fabrics. I think that is my fave part of sewing-picking out fabrics!!LOL After I got home I called the Dr since Jonathan was still seeming to have digestion issues even if they weren't as bad as B4 and had to run back out to get Mylacon drops. Went to Walgreens first and they wanted $14.99 for them, so went to Kroger to Dark Caro Syrup to help him poop and their drops were only $3.98!! YEAH-I was soooo glad I didn't get the ones at Walgreens.

We finally got the disk in the mail with his professional pics and I played around with them to give them special effects like Sepia and such. Now I will have to email the family them to see which ones they want....I also got a box from Chris's brother with some clothes for Jonathan and some hand lotion stuff for me since my hands are getting so dry from washing bottles and such 3 times a day and washing them B4 feeding him. The clothes are adorable and I was floored with the gift receipt from Lord & Taylor-heck-I could probably cloth him for the next year with the $$ spent on the 2 outfits, sleepsack and 3 onesies!!

My mom got a job, so she is leaving a week early and driving back to Atl on Sunday. It is bottersweet-happy she got a job, but sad she is leaving and sad that I have to be alone with all the feedings for a few days;)

Chris's uncle died a couple weeks ago and now MIL is in St. Louis because grandpa is not doing well. They think that some of the plaque from his arteries has broken loose and went to his brain. He is in pain unless on muscle relaxers, his memory is nada and he doesn't want to eat or drink. We all think it is just a matter of time. He doesn't even know who Mom is a lot of the times. He did live a great 102 years though.....you all know that I do not pray, but if you do, please pray that he passes without pain and that he knows somewhere deep inside who we all are and that we love him dearly. Gotta go-my tears are blurring the screen..
