this weekend was HECTIC. between shopping for anaïs' birthday outfit and getting the preparations for today ready, i am EXHAUSTED.

the party was adorable though, and she really had a lot of fun. not to mention she looked so delicious and sweet in her strawberry outfit <3 ugh, i could just eat her up! i will definitely be posting pictures of this!

she got to be with all her cousins and aunts and uncle, and well, everyone!!!

sorry this post is so discordant. i am tired x_x

i can now relate to what my mother must have felt that one day. i was nine months old, and she irreverently sat me on her lap in the front seat as my dad and she drove me "a short distance". i always asked myself what the hell they were thinking. luckily, well, obviously, i did not die when that car impacted my dad's old jalopy. my proof of the war i fought? a big, ole' shiner! the pictures are adorable, i guess you'd say, but the thought of what might have been is something i understand now.


today anaïs choked, right in my arms, and as i patiently tried to dislodge whatever was in her throat, she struggled. i think my heart might have stopped a few times because i lost feeling. my brother in law managed to get it out of her, and can you believe it was a dime? i died a few times today, but i feel more alive knowing that she is alright, asleep in her cot, tossing and turning as usual.

for this experience, i cannot forgive myself or the person who was with her. i cannot forgive myself because exactly a week before today something similar could have happened, and we took precautionary matters, almost to what non-parental individuals would call exaggerated.

now my paranoia has skyrocketed :(

...is this a taste of separation anxiety?

weekend is here! hooray! god knows the week has been quite slow :3 missing the hubby terribly during the day [i dismiss the fact he's usually shooting zombies, hehe].

anaïs can say cat, that, this, papa, and boca [that's mouth in spanish], nana [grandma to her, hehe] ^_^ oh, of course, mama and dada.

molars coming in ;\ her appetite went down the drain, lol. slowly recouperating!
