A lot has happened since I last updated. Lucy has her four front top teeth coming in all at once, we had a few really bad days. I think they all have finally broken through though so it shouldn't be so bad. Now she'll be up to six teeth! The past week she just started standing on her own. At first she would just pull up and let go but now she can just stand up without holding on to anything. And since she's standing by herself, she's also taken a few steps. The most she's taken is three so far, but she gets more confident every day. I think within a couple weeks she'll be walking completely. We leave for Texas in a week, I can't believe how soon. I'm so stressed about packing and making sure we don't forget anything. We have to drive all the way to Connecticut, which is two hours, then another four hours on the plane. It's going to be a nightmare. I'm sure Lucy is going to have a hysterical fit on the plane because she can't move around. We've just started planning her party which is just another big stress factor. I have no idea where we're going to have it, who's coming and if I don't know how many people are coming then I don't know how many cupcakes to make. Right now we're thinking roughly around 30-40 people. Which means I need to make like 50 cupcakes plus Lucy's cake. How overwhelming. On a different note I just got a tattoo last night. Billy came over to the house and did it in the kitchen. It's a lotus flower and underneath say Live through this and you won't look back on my chest. It hurt, a lot. I thought the center was going to be the worst part but that was nothing compared to the top of the flower which starts right at the bottom of my throat. I think it took like 2 1/2 hours to do. It's very sore right now but surprisingly not red or swollen at all.
