Jon and I both have the flu. Isobel seems to be feeling better.
We headed over to the new apartment to unpack a few boxes. Hopefully, we're feeling better tomorrow so that we can move some more boxes.
We all went to bed at 7:30 this evening - so much for New Year's Eve. Although, I had to get up before midnight and log into work to change the parking rates and taxes. Just now finished and going back to bed to hopefully sleep off this headache - assuming that I can get to the correct body temperature for sleeping.

58/365 - New Apartment
We got the keys to our new apartment yesterday. And I finally got to see it.
But I was so sick. I ended up throwing up a couple of times that morning, including just before leaving to go get the keys. So I was no help to Matty and Jon with the first load of boxes.
And then in the evening, Jon started showing symptoms. So we all went to bed at 7pm.

57/365 - Tea with Brian
Isobel didn't get a bottle last night and didn't complain about it. However, Jon had to sleep with her the entire night; she woke up a couple of times but went back to sleep with little fussing. I, on the other hand, kept waking up wondering how she was doing and not feeling well myself.
I went into work today, but left early feeling dizzy and nauseous. I think I may be getting what Belly has.
Brian came over this morning to entertain Isobel while Jon got some packing done. Isobel even managed to convince him to let her play with his engineering ring; I think she has a thing for jewelry.
Isobel didn't throw up so far today, but was really clingy and sleepy today. She would have been content to just breastfeed and doze all evening if I'd let her. She did manage to eat a bit of dinner as I made her current favorite of bunny mac and cheese.

56/365 - Cup of Tea
Alida and family gave Isobel this teapot toy for Christmas and Isobel loves it. She carries it around all over the apartment, pouring tea, and making us drink some. It was a great gift.
Last night, I woke up at 12:30 to Jon calling me. Isobel had puked all over her sheets and pillow. So we got her changed into a fresh pair of pajamas, put the puke infested items into the wash and remade the bed. Once again Isobel puked all over the sheets. And a second pajama and sheet change occurred. Since the wash was still going from the first bout, these items were set by the washer for the first load in the morning. But once again, Isobel puked. So another fresh set of pjs and sheets. (And Jon wonders why I'm loathe to part with all of my sets of sheets for Isobel's bed). This time we let her wander around our living room playing. And she puked two more times, before we put her back to bed two hours later. Made for an interesting night.
She seemed fine in the morning. So after a late morning nap, Jon and I packed her up and took her to Chris and Annie's for a few hours. We were able to return their glider and ottoman that we had borrowed (which was great when Isobel was a baby, but we're trying to move as little as possible). Isobel had lots of fun playing with Mira and Rowan, while Jon and I were able to go home and tackle packing the kitchen up. It's mostly complete, but we started to run out of boxes.
Isobel fell asleep on the way home, so we drove a bit longer and ran a couple of errands - purchasing more laundry soap to wash all the puked on sheets. Got home and Isobel was not quite herself; didn't want to eat and wanted to be cuddled. After her bath, she crawled onto my lap on the couch and breastfeed for a little while. Then played a little bit, and then wanted back onto my lap again. This time however, she puked all over me and herself. So while Jon cleaned her up, I took a quick shower. Afterward she seemed energetic and wanted to play, but I'm afraid we'll have another pukey night.

55/365 - Walking Outside By Herself
We went out to the crepes place by our apartment for brunch today. I really wish we had started going there sooner, although it's probably good we didn't. It's one of the things about where we live right now that I'll miss.
On the way home, Isobel wanted to walk by herself. I wanted her to take my hand, but she refused. So instead I fretted most of the walk home about her falling and hurting herself, her running out into traffic, etc. Except for having to pick her up and carry her a way from all outside stairs, after letting her explore some, it was a great experience. She really enjoyed herself. I carried her across the street, but figured it's time to start teaching her to stop and look both ways before crossing already.
Today was supposed to be about packing and cleaning; however Isobel was really cranky and made it hard to get a lot done. We did manage to get our bathroom emptied and cleaned; as well as most of the pantry. And a few boxes got packed. Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive.
Isobel took a late afternoon nap on me as she fell asleep breastfeeding. Her and I took a bath this evening, where she started copying me and sticking her tongue out at me and then giggling. And now Jon's trying to get her to sleep.

54/365 - Boxing Day
Okay, not too much of a write up. We went to Jon's mom's for an early lunch and then met up with his dad at Spaghetti Factory for a late lunch. Allison and Jordan are on the other side of the table.
Jon, Isobel and I then went to the twoonie swim. Where Isobel proceeded to have lots of fun going down the slide. Stopped and picked up a few groceries and then got home. Threw the baby in a bath to wash her hair and then got ready for bed.
Hopefully the next two days are more productive in terms of packing.

53/365 - Christmas Day
We had a very nice Christmas this year. We watched Isobel open presents in the morning and Jon put her new shopping cart together; which she seems to like. And, in true Christmas style, Isobel has cranky for a while.
We then packed upa nd headed out to Chilliwack for dinner at Nana and Poppa Clouatre's. Isobel was spoiled there and we ate lots of very yummy food. On the way home, Jon and I agreed that we need to ask Althea for her sweet potato recipe. And I even ate some turkey as Althea always makes a great turkey and I'm not a big turkey fan.
Isobel had lots of fun playing with the girls. And trying to avoid the puppy as she's still not fond of small dogs.
I could write so much more, but I have to go get ready for all of the Boxing Day events.
