Here is the Dress I made for Abigail ... on the off chance that she may be too tall for it when she can wear it I have set some of the same yarn aside that way it can have more added to the hemline before it goes through wear & tear and the yarn no longer "matches" ~ the top photo a picture of the back & the lower one is the front ... showing a corner of my "tag" in the shoulder area.

The pattern is found on Ravelry (if you are a member there you can get it) it's called Hip Dress for Baby ~ original size is for 0-3 months. Mine should be the right size for 12 - 18 months.

That feels sooooooo great to have completed that project ~ better late than never!!!!

That being said I'm frustrated with my thyroid and sleep apnea and the weight I've gained since beginning my OSA treatment... after all I had been told I would lose weight if I dieted & exercised when I was first treated for my underactive thyroid ~ ahhhh NO that didn't work... then when I saw the specialist for my OSA he told me, "don't worry, if you diet & exercise with your sleep apnea being treated you will be able to lose the weight" ~ I should have known better! Dieting & exercising and gaining weight seem to be what I do best. The weight gain brought me back to my gp and he said oh your thyroid is off we need to adjust your meds & test your blood in a month. Meanwhile my weight is still climbing. NO NO NO I just can't stand it!!!

My body has been protesting and my body is losing this battle ... then someone said you need to read about the thyroid diet, certain foods will work against you... huh??? can this be?? if this is true then why didn't my doctor tell me about this back when he started me on my meds years ago????

All I can say is that everyone is different & what works for one may not work for another... and all doctors can do is their very best for their patients... so it is up to the patients to look things up & keep questioning their doctors in order to have/get the best care possible!!! I'm so sorry I took so long to seriously look into these things ... hopefully now I will have some answers. I'll let you know how it goes ... as it looks like it will be a long journey still.

Wishing you all a frog free projects & good health & restful sleep!
