Wow - I can't believe how sick I have been. In my last blog, I thought I was turning a corner. Well, I wasn't. I don't think I turned the corner until this past Wednesday. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit and I was actually able to enjoy the visit (I will write about their visit in my next blog entry). I canceled every plan I had for the Labor Day weekend and I literally have been just miserable. I still have a lingering cough, but I hope that ends very soon.Before I got sick (Aug 28), my sister came over to the house to spend the day with me and Briana. We had a great time! We hung out, went to Steak and Shake and Target - it was a blast. Briana LOVES Aunt Amy! The next day, Doug's friend Jimmie and his mom Ginny came to visit for the afternoon. We had a lovely time. Unfortunately after they left - I could tell I wasn't feeling well. From that time on I went straight downhill, and I have been down and out ever since. Even today, I walk up the stairs and I feel so winded. I can't wait until I feel 100% again.
As for Briana, she is amazing. I can't believe she has been with us a whole month and that she turned 13 months old on Thursday. She is really walking now. She falls a lot, but she can take 10 to 15 steps across the room with no problem. I can't believe how quickly she has changed. She is so strong and she babbles all the time. She now says git gat for kitty cat. It is so dang cute! I will say she is very, very active. A real wiggle worm. Never stops moving. Just goes from one thing to the next. It is exhausting for me, but I am so glad she seems to want to just see and learn everything. I believe she is brilliant - LOL! I am not biased or anything - ha, ha!
I want to thank my mom and dad for all of their help in helping me take care of Briana. There were a couple of days I really needed a few extra pair of hands and they came to the rescue!
Well, I still have a lot to write about (Grandparent's Day, Briana's first birthday party), but I am so tired. I just got Miss Briana to bed and now it is my turn. Even though I was sick, I did manage to take some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Lisa... please tell me you've been to a doctor, I'm worried about you woman! Seems you've been sick since getting home, so get checked out.
Briana is so beautiful- just melts my heart. Happpy 13 months in this world to her, and I'm so glad to hear she's doing so well!
Glad you're feeling better. I know how hard it is sometimes to get back to 100%. It's even more so when you're a parent. Briana is getting cuter by the day. I' so glad she is thriving so well. Before you know it she'll be talking full sentences and you'll want her to be quiet for 5 minutes :)
What a cutie patutie!!
Sorry to read you have been so sick. I hope each day is better!
I am so glad you are getting better. I was so worried about you!! She is sooooo cute.
Stay well and healthy my friend.

What size is Briana wearing now? We'll get Ella right before she turns 13 months and I'm still obsessing about what size to bring.
