And so 1 year has gone by
Yes!!!
Last year this time I was in hospital trying to recover from the damages Pre-eclampsia did to my body and I had yet to see baby Becca because I was put in the intensive care unit where babies are not allowed!
Anyway I'm happy we made it to 1 year of age without too much stress! Well stress came for other reasons but, at least, I can say I'm dealing with being a mom better than what I expected considering how I felt at the beginning. ;-)
This photo was taken on March 2, her birthday. Btw I wanna send belated birthday wishes to wonderlinda sorry I didn't write you yesterday!
Yesterday turned out to be a very challenging day because I had to take Becca get the last vaccine jabs scheduled for her. No more till she's 6 hooray!!! This vaccination thing really makes me nervous and am glad it's over.
The ones she had yesterday must have been really heavy ( MMR and MC) for she's been "drunk" most of the day then she collapsed at 7pm, woke up at 3am and now she's asleep again!
I guess I will take time to go see her pediatrician later on in the day just to make sure she's ok and ask for advices on her weaning! She's still obsessed with breast feeding and I think it's time to move on. She does eat all sorts of food but won't have breakfast or any other liquids unless it's water or breast milk! Geez! And she has a mild rash on her cheeks since January which I have no idea why it comes and goes so I better ask. Last we went for her check up she already had it but he didn't say anything about it - bet u any money he didn't even notice it.
Ops I didn't mean it to be a baby post of course! It's just that she obviously fills most of my day...
We are still working on the new house and it's starting to make me anxious because I never thought it'd take so much time! I know that having such a big house to sort out and just the weekends isn't an ideal match but we started 2 months ago and we are only half way there!
Once it's ready I'll be able to have friends stay over without problems since there's plenty of space indeed!! Yay! Can't wait to throw parties, have pen pals come visiting etc!
I will post some new pics of the work in progress stage soon.
Other than baby princess and the house, I've taken the time to start working on some crafts. My aunt is very skilled and so far she taught me how to paint on fabric, make Christmas tree decorations and two weeks ago I've started working on egg carving and decorating (with hot wax)... Here's a pic of my first egg. Nothing too fancy or complicated but I'm pleased with the results. Egg carving is a very relaxing process... Takes time and patience but you get to make great things. My cousin is making a desk lamp out of an ostrich egg.
Please don't flame me or be offended after reading this if you're vegan or vegetarian ... I respect people choices and expect the same. ;-)
Job hunt and the future
The first isn't going anywhere even though my father gave my CV out to people who have quite a few connections. This means the situation here is really bad because - a few years ago - I would have had at least a few interviews by now. How sad!
On top of that I have no idea what I wanna do...I'd love to go back to school even if part-time but I also need the money a job would bring. I'm literally in the "what do I wanna do when I grow up" phase! I hope some ideas and inspiration will come my way sooner or later.
Ok that's it for now... I better go and get ready now that my mom is here to look after Becca.
