Joe went back to work today. I finished up some knitting I had to do and then did some cleaning. I made ham and perogies for dinner and it was a pretty boring day all in all. We haven't gone anywhere because we got a lot of snow overnight and today, 5 inches total. And I forgot to take a picture. Oops. So I'll share a picture from this day last year. It's of Lucy and Nana playing. Nana put Lucy's socks on her head and she just thought that was hysterical. She was about 8 months in this picture.

Joe stayed home from work again today because we still were feeling pretty weak from the stomach flu yesterday. We just relaxed and didn't do much of anything. Lucy was feeling pretty good by now.

Monday 1-10-11

Today was a MISERABLE day. It started last night around 10pm. I got sick. Then Lucy woke up screaming at midnight and when I went to check on her she was covered in puke too. I gave her a bath and Joe cleaned up her crib. About an hour later Joe started getting sick too. It was a horrible night of the 3 of us with the stomach flu. Thankfully Lucy never got the diarrhea part of it, but the vomitting was bad enough. We both felt so terrible for her. Finally around 7am we had all stopped throwing up so much and I went downstairs tocall the PT and cancel our session for this morning. I laid on the couch to get some rest so that Joe, Lucy and I were more comfortable without us all fighting for space in bed. I woke up and went back upstairs to check on them around 10am.

The rest of the day was spent recooping. Lucy bounced back pretty fast although it took Joe and I much longer to recover!

Sunday 1-9-11

Church as usual. Went to the grocery store and Grandma was carrying Lucy in. We have no idea what happened but she fell while holding Lucy on the way into the store. Lucy hit her head a little, she had a small bump on the back of it, and she bit her tongue and it was bleeding a bit but nothing like the beating that Grandma took trying to protect Lucy on the way down. Grandma scraped up her wrist and hit her knee pretty hard.

We went home and Lucy was back to her normal self in no time. When we went to BRU on Wednesday I bought Lucy a cheap potty chair for the heck of it. She's pretty easy to tell when she's going #2 so I figured maybe it would be a good start. Joe thought it was funny to put her on it and give her the newspaper to read.

Saturday 1-8-11

This evening we had dinner at Nana and Pap's house with Gigi, Papi and Nana's brothers and sister and their families to celebrate Uncle Rich's 50th birthday. It was a good dinner and a fun evening. We got there early to try out Lucy's new sled, snow suit and boots, but we only stayed outside for a few minutes because it was extremely cold!

Friday 1-7-11

Today we spent the whole day at home recooping from our busy day yesterday.

Thursday 1-6-11

Today we had our appointment down at Children's Hospital with the Neurologist. Here's Lucy sitting at one of the children's tables in the waiting room with her doll.

We went down early and had lunch at an Indian restaurant across the street. Then her appointment, then she got bloodwork done there as well so all in all we spent almost 4 hours at the hospital. Afterwards we stopped at Target on the way home and got stuff for dinner and bought Lucy ice cream for doing such a great job at the Dr.'s.
