Feeling much better!

today's project

Last week was quite a week. I haven't felt that sick in years...I had the flu last year for three weeks and I was sick with a stomach bug over Christmas 2006, but nothing felt as bad as last week did. I think a lot of it had to do with my fear of having a baby while feeling that awful. For some reason, I felt the need to photograph myself during the thick of it. And now, for some reason, I feel compelled to post the picture -- perhaps as evidence that I wasn't faking it:

(Attractive!)

I was feeling much better by the weekend...not 100%, but not deathly either. I dressed Lucy up her her best Patriots' attire on Sunday. She cheered really hard with her daddy. But, alas, 'twas not meant to be this year.

Today we baked Valentine's cupcakes. This is something I really wanted to do this year...I'm not sure why, but probably because I am anticipating being a bit out of commission this V-day and want to make sure that Lucy has some specialness in advance. She had a lot of fun helping me and, of course, made sure that she "booped" (i.e., put her finger in) the cupcakes as she decorated them.
