Hadley's first birthday week
This week has been an eventful week.
Last Tuesday we met up with our regular group of mommies and babies and late Wednesday night all the babies fell ill.
This was Hadley's first time actually vomiting. Numerous times. Not fun.
The following day we pressed on as it was her birthday. Her first birthday!
We did some running around during the day but really tried to keep things low key until the party began.
We wanted to have many more people come to her party but since we couldn't host a BBQ outside we had to limit the number of invitees as our house is only so big with very few spots to sit. We were very thankful to all those that made the trek to Ajax to help us celebrate!
Hadley was showered with gifts, and watching her with the cake was extremely fun!
We put the whole cake in front of her and although she did touch it, she wasn't really interested in getting it all over or anything. In fact she actually held her hand out and wanted the cake off of it. She did lean in with her mouth though and took a tiny bite of the slice we cut for her. Then her interest in the cake was over.
After a few hours at her party I started feeling ill....oh no.
Yes, I caught her bug. Infact, we were all sick. Brian and Hadley were also doing their best to carry on through the party.
The entire family was sick for days and we are just now starting to get back normal.
We were blessed to have Anne Marie and Julie stay over for two nights after the birthday party. They watched and played with Hadley while we got through the roughest part. BIG THANKS!
Our Easter weekend, the earliest it will be in our lifetime was spent relaxing, trying to fight off this bug.
I did put Hadley in her pretty new Easter dress on the Sunday and she opened a few gifts but the day was pretty low key. I did have a pop though and it was tasty. Mmmm, the first in 40 days. This lent seemed particularly long since I love ginger-ale when I am sick.
As for new foods, we have introduced milk and toast to Hadley. Both with no sign of an allergy. We do know that there are many types of bread out there, but she seems to be good with the first type of bread we introduced.
Thursday morning (yesterday) was Hadley's one year needles. This was for Measles, Mumps and Rubella, as well as Meninggococcal Group Conjugate. Hadley was not happy about actually getting the needles but she acted normal all day.
She weighed in at 17 pounds 2 ounces up from 16 pounds 6 ounces at 10 months, and she was 72.5cm tall up from 70 cm with a new head circumference of 45 cm.
For me, I have 0.4 pounds to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight down from 5 pounds at the ten month mark. I am just about there. :)
