Overdue Post

Boy, it's been a while since I last posted anything. Life has been hectic. First let's talk about things I've gotten done. My sister in law had her 3rd baby on January 23rd and I made a few things for the baby. A little hat that hopefully will fit her for the rest of the season.
I love this next one. I believe it's called Comfy Baby's Nest. I got both patterns from Ravelry. I hope that this will fit her. She was only 6 pounds when she was born.
Now I haven't blocked or taken a picture yet but I did finish The Christmas Special Shawl. It is the first mystery shawl I actually finished.
Life! What can I say. It's been filled with sickness and the not knowing about my hubby losing his job. I had a bad sinus infection last month then just got over having a cold. I didn't feel like doing much of anything. I would knit a couple of rows and had to quit. The boys have had their share of sickness.
Brock went to the doctor Tuesday and come to find out has strep throat and an ear infection. She went ahead and gave me a prescription for Cody to take so he don't get it.
On the job, it has been very slow as everyone knows. Hubby was working 74-80 hours a week 7 days a week and since the beginning of the year there hasn't been overtime plus mandatory shutdowns. They have layed off over 2000 people and the news said they expected to layoff a total of 20,000 people worldwide. So far he's okay but it is week to week now. I feel lucky that he is working compared to so many who aren't. It's very stressful and doesn't make sleeping easy.
