Doing some spring cleaning...anyone want some craft stamps and ink? I have several sets from StampinUp!

Kelan is starting to get into a routine at night:

2 hours of screaming, starting around 8 pm 4 hours of sleeping 30 - 90 minutes up for eating 3 hours of sleeping

At this point, there's not enough time for me to go back to sleep before I have to get up to get Kadie ready for school and not enough time for me to get anything useful done, so I normally sit on the couch and drink some tea and read a book.

During the day, he hasn't really gotten into a rhythm. Sometimes he...

Apparently, Kelan decided that sleeping is for the birds. He cat napped all last night, which means yours truly didn't get any sleep at all. I finally gave up around 2:30 this morning and stuck him in the broken swing as he tends to fuss less while in that than while I'm trying to rock him in my arms (possibly because the motion is more constant as my arms tire quickly from whatever movement I'm making and I change from rocking to patting to jiggling and back again).

More than 10 million Americans have migraines creating a burden of mostly unnecessary suffering.(i) These severe, nearly disabling headaches can occur from once a year to three to four times a week.

She was having some attitude problems at school, but she's doing a lot better. I think a lot of it was because she wasn't getting as much attention as she was used to and Jeff and I started to focus on changing that. She still has a problem with focus/attention and we're now working on her...

We've been having problems getting Kelan to sleep (both for naps and at night) and his constant need to be held is causing me great difficulty in getting things done (including taking a shower). Several times Jeff has said,"Kadie was never like this."

I've been doing a bit more research and have come across what might be a good description of what we've been dealing with: a"high needs baby" as described by Dr. Sears. Kelan fits the description to a"T". He is very intense, prefers...
