As a Mommy, my first concern is baby's well being. The past couple of weeks have been tough. She started teething, and then it seemed to subside, but it is back full-throttle! Stupid, stupid, stupid molars!!!! She seems to be in constant pain, and the teething tablets only work for so long before she is crying again:( last Tuesday she got her shots, too. That was a hard one for us both, her especially. I have never heard her cry like that before. There was real pain in her voice, and she looked at me with tear-filled eyes... eyes that asked, "Why are you hurting me Mommy?" Yes, I cried. A lot! My poor little darling, sweet baby, I am sorry. I held her close, sang and rocked her as much as I could while the nurse gave her 4 needles, in the arms. I am fairly certain I kept saying sorry to her as well.
On a happy note, she made all of the nurses giggle after. She ran room to room, making "scary" noises and playing in every toy bin:)
I also noticed her first freckle!!!! And today, when I came home from work, DaddyBee showed me her new thing!! If you give her a tube of lotion, she will open the cap, close the cap and rub her hands together!! How friggin' cute is THAT?! What a doll:)

It's been a while!
Oh, so little time and so little sleep, yet still soooo much to do:( BabyBee is teething, or so I think, and she has been awake all night for 7 of the past 9 nights. I am burning the candle at both ends, and still working a full 40 hrs a week. Something has to give. Good news is that spring is here, and hopefully I can get some raised plant beds and soil in by April 3rd. Ah yes, more to do. Still need to replace the sliding doors in the dining room so that I can grow some tomatoes, stawberries, peppers and herbs on the deck. Thinking of doing vertical planters for those.
I haven't had any time to do crafting at all, and I have a mountain of beautiful paper staring at me in the face. Thought of a wonderful project to launch on etsy.com, but still need to talk to DaddyBee about minding Babybee for a whole day on the weekend to start it. I searched the net high and low, and no one else seems to be doing it yet, so fingers crossed my imagination may actually pay off. My ultimate goal is to do it full time, but that may be a while yet:S Any ideas for a catchy etsy name would be helpful.
Really need to work on my niece's birthday gift, almost done, but not quite there yet. Still have to do a very vigorous and thorough spring cleaning. That's a scary thought.
Babybee has her 1 yr shots on the 23rd. Yes, it's late, but not overly so. 2 months to the day, actually:( What a way to celebrate a "birthday", huh!? I sure hope she doesn't react badly to them. I can't remember if it's 3 or 4 needles this time. DaddyBee conveniently scheduled them so that he didn't have to do it. Can't blame him too much, I cry every time, like a whiny little girl. I hate seeing my little banana bug in pain. yes, that's the new nickname, though I avoid saying it around her bc she looks everywhere for bananas!!!! And since we ran out 2 days ago, I don't want to get her started.
Our bedroom is almost a cozy little den now. I want to replace the blinds with some fun and bright curtains, since the walls are all a latte colour:( Not my choice, and not much to do about it when you are a renter. Good luck buying here though....
Well, off i go. I hope to get some pics of the niece's fairy wands and presents. Sis probably won't have time to do the elaborate cupcakes she wanted, but I may have a trick or two up my sleeve to surprise her too. (her b-day is the 23rd)
