New Year's Day was fairly unevenful as well. I had, and still have, a list a mile long of crap I need to get done at the house. Thankfully laundry did finally get finished....the tree is still up though.
To celebrate in, as I have now found out, traditional Southern style, had black eyed peas with dinner. We weren't planning on doing the full out southern meal or a hopping john for dinner, just going to have black eyed peas as a side so we could say we ate our good luck peas. Only probably was that Philly Cheese steaks were on the menu for Saturday night! So we had Philly Cheese steaks, black eyed peas and champagne. Yeah, we are weird. The champagne was really yummy thought and we had the whole bottle!
Here's a picture of Mallory of New Year's Day!!
Ben had an itch to go shoot his new gun which pretty much meant we had to head to Elkton. Ben is now the proud owner of a used glock that was formerly owned by the Detroit Police Department, lol. Wonder how many people it was shot at.....it even says Detroit PD on the side of it. So funny......and kinda ghetto. Either way, we went to mom and dad's, swapped out the rest of our Christmas presents with the family that didn't trek up here on Christmas night and Ben got to go shoot crap with Dad and Nick. He also cleaned up Dad's AR 15 or whatever it's called, so they headed off to the back of the farm to shoot at crap. Boys.
Mallory and I napped : )
Today was hard to get up and get going. Ben actually had the day off today for New Year's instead of Friday, which I thought was odd, but whatever. We had Mallory's Physical Therapy Evaluation today for her Tortocollus, I'm sure I slaughtered the spelling of that, but basically it's "stiff neck." Basically she just went through some stretches to do with her and her neck so she will have a better range of motion. She's always favored one side and this just helps even her out. We will probably go once a week for a couple months and she should be good to go. I also like that fact that the Physical Therapist, Charity, is also in Junior League with me : )
We are also going to go on and get referred to the neurologist. Just to take a look at her flat spot. She measured right on the edge of whether they would recommend we go or not and we would rather err on the safe side and just have her flat spot checked out. I know it's getting better and that's a good sign but since my degree is not in neurology, obviously, I'd rather go make sure they think everything will continue to get better and be symmetric. Worst case is she does get a helmet for a couple months but I really don't think it will come to that, but who knows.
Otherwise all is well with us. We are all feeling better. Mallory has a little bit of a runny nose, but doesn't seem to be bad. She's still teething like mad and gnawing on anything and everything she can get her hands on. Maybe one day a couple of teeth will pop out!!
Half Marathon Training and Running for Dimes is progressing along well. I'm up to having sponsorship for 17 dimes per mile. My goal is 50. If you would like to sponsor me and to learn more about it, check out my running blog here. I've suckered a few others into doing this with me too!! We are the crazy preemie mommas!
Here's another picture or two:
