My husbands baby cousin (who is 7 months old) suddenly started having them too. So scary for a mom!! <br /><br />Check out melatonin really carefully before upping his dose, there are safer herbs with much more research to back them up that help with sleeping. A lot of people (including people in my family) take melatonin, but I have read that you shouldn't take it unless you have tests to prove you are deficient. Just do research to be safe.Kristinahttp://my2monsters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-26405147071283334772012-07-18T06:45:30.116-04:002012-07-18T06:45:30.116-04:00I wonder why it is that difficulties come in group...I wonder why it is that difficulties come in groups? I asked my husband the other day if I'm the only one who feels like we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop and he said no, he's been feeling it too. But, it's ok. I know God is in control so I'm refusing to stress out about it.Rose @ Walnut Acrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704569051821430233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-30898259848623877982012-07-18T06:40:25.761-04:002012-07-18T06:40:25.761-04:00Thank you. :-)Thank you. :-)Rose @ Walnut Acrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704569051821430233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-64598751014859454152012-07-18T06:40:00.823-04:002012-07-18T06:40:00.823-04:00Awww, thank you. :-) I think a lot about what woul...Awww, thank you. :-) I think a lot about what would happen if we lost power and I have been considering canning some meals as well.Rose @ Walnut Acrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704569051821430233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-60861935937332321502012-07-18T06:38:49.101-04:002012-07-18T06:38:49.101-04:00Thank You for stopping by.

However, my son has been on Melatonin for about two years now because of trouble falling asleep. I wonder if, now that he's a little older and bigger, I should raise the dosage a little. I'll definitely check on that.Rose @ Walnut Acrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704569051821430233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-90735782593768320502012-07-18T00:05:41.056-04:002012-07-18T00:05:41.056-04:00oh i'm so sorry about the seizures. my son had...oh i'm so sorry about the seizures. my son had seizures when he was 3 mos old. we spent a week in the ER and it was terribly stressful. they never found anything wrong with him and he had a new EEG a week ago and has been cleared. i'll be praying for miraculous healing for your little one. i know how scary that can be. also i read an article about melatonin on the livestrong page about 2 days ago that said that melatonin can help prevent seizures while you sleep. you might want to google livestrong and melatonin and see if it might help for a bit. <3kristenlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684309642317260771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-5267809891657466412012-07-17T17:50:06.040-04:002012-07-17T17:50:06.040-04:00Best of luck with dealing with the seizures.

I remember right after getting married, in the middle of winter, we lost our water heater and the bedroom space heater (the bedroom isn't connected to the central heat) in the same week. It was miserable, and since it happened on a holiday weekend, we had to live without hot water for 3 days.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10979951501417983587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792860620144444558.post-83396862228993351982012-07-17T14:01:09.965-04:002012-07-17T14:01:09.965-04:00I love how practical and thoughtful you were in re...I love how practical and thoughtful you were in response to a trip to the E.R.

We lost power for three days, in turn losing all our food. In those situations, having precooked meals doesn't help. But, having canned meals is perfect. We are more prepared now because we have a generator and cables. We are now set up for emergency. There are so many things we can do to make it easier. I am so thankful we have a gas stove. I was able to fix food. We stocked up on water as well.Rachel E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06029197864979891111noreply@blogger.com
