Today was another outside day for Lucy, Mommy and Daddy. We had a good visit, but she clearly is still not feeling well. We were told today that she has bronchitis and is being treated with antibiotics. They said the reason is there are too many children and not enough caregivers (doesn't make us feel very good). She isn't running a fever, but sounds very chest congested. We of course wish we could take her home yesterday, but that decision is out of our hands. We unfortunately have to wait about another 5 or 6 weeks (ugh).
Lucy did come right to Mommy today, and only cried for a second or two with Daddy. We were both very pleased. We stayed outside the whole time; I thought some fresh air would do her good. We were told we could bring cookies and juice for her, and she at first didn't know what to make our sippy cup we offered her, so I took the lid off so she could drink right from the cup. Before long she wanted the lid back on and took to it like a bottle. I'm sure she misses her bottles she was receiving at the previous baby house (she was just moved about two weeks ago); she is now treated more like a toddler then a baby.
Lucy drank the entire cup of apple juice and ate some of her cookie. She was very sleepy, so at the end she fell asleep walking around outside with Mommy. When it was time to bring her back inside, she actually cried when I passed her back to her caregiver. We are definately making some progress : )
Tomorrow will be very short visit in the morning, and Sunday no visit : (
We will still update the blog, we have been meaning to add pictures of our apartment as well as the city. Thanks for checking in : )

Beautiful! So glad to hear she is beginning to bond with you. And that they've gotten her on antibiotics. Feel better soon, Lucy!
Oh Julie, you guys make such a beautiful family!! Jon looks like such a proud daddy!! I am sorry little Lucy is sick, but hope she gets over it quickly. I couldn't help but smile when you referred to yourselves as mommy and daddy!! It's been a long time coming!
