So this past week I’ve been sick and finally had to get antibiotics. They made me feel better SO fast, and I’m doing great now. I’d kinda let the house go because I felt horrible, but last night I was back to my old self and thoroughly cleaned for 2 hours while Kyrie happily slept in her swing. She’s also getting better at entertaining herself with whatever fun object she sees, so that’s making everything easier. But there haven’t been any recent pictures of her because I usually am the one who takes them and I’ve been waaay under the weather. But the flow of cute baby pictures should continue soon. For now I have to check on a squealing, hiccuping little girl in the other room and then make myself a late breakfast.
