A comedy of errors
I am not far enough removed from the events (still feeling queasy) to be able to look back and laugh at what ended up being Lilly's birthday weekend but maybe one day I will be able to force out a little chuckle.
Lilly got sick in the night late Wednesday/early Thursday. Nancy and David had just come into town (Wednesday evening) and were willing to come over Thursday and keep Lilly while Phillip and I went to work. I ended up working 12-9 (two late nights in one week followed by extra early mornings due to my schedule change was killer).
Lilly went back to daycare on Friday, which was Nancy's birthday. We all went out to dinner that night to celebrate and then to Krispy Kreme for dessert.
Nancy ended up getting sick. Very sick.
We decided to go ahead with Lilly's party, which was just going to be a small family affair anyway.
Ellen and I went to gymnastics Saturday morning (fun!) and plans were made for Kendra, Laurie and David to come over around 12:30.
I ran to Kroger to get balloons and a few odds and ends. This is where I first began to feel sick to my stomach (I was already suffering from cold/sinus issues). I called Phillip thinking I might not be able to finish shopping (or make it home for that matter). I bought two small bananas and ate them in the car. Those bananas saved me.
We ordered pizza and had salad, chips and eventually cupcakes. Lilly opened presents and had a blast playing with her new things, the tissue paper and the gift bags. Everything was going well and I was doing okay until Phillip accidentally smashed in the side of Lilly's cake. I was crushed.
Lilly was tired and fussy and didn't want anything to do with the cake so she and I took a little break and then Phillip rocked her to sleep.
While Lilly napped, Ellen played with the gifts she received and enjoyed spending time with her aunts and uncle. David won Pretty Pretty Princess :)
The full on stomach bug finally hit me Sunday morning and no amount of bananas could stop it. I was in bed most of Lilly's actual birthday. Phillip took the girls to church for both services and entertained them in between.
Phillip started feeling bad yesterday and was in the bathroom off and on all night long. He stayed home from work today to recuperate.
It has been one thing after another around here. (Add in the fact I was written up at work for excessive occurrences (missing work when the girls have been sick), ordered the wrong size disc for my necklace, Lilly's daycare teacher put in her 2 week notice last week and the inclement weather (possible ice storm)... help me Rhonda!)

We started Lilly on whole milk Saturday afternoon. She wasn't too thrilled at first but it only took a day or two for her to get used to the switch. I threw away all but one of her bottles today (safety net) so pray for us! Hopefully she will take to the sippy cup without too much of a fight.
Lilly got three shots today. Here are her 12 month 2 day stats:
Height - 30.5 inches (90%)
Weight - 23 lbs (90%)
Head circumference - 17 inches (25%)
Her next well visit is in three months.
