DOES NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS

Abbey is invited to a Disney Princess party tomorrow. And although it sounds like all fun and games, I have actually been dreading it. I have learned that my sweet baby girl does not play well with others. In her defense I will say, she is kind and shares for the most part, occasionally she will chase a kid down to hug them, but don’t you dare snatch a toy she is playing with, she will fight to the death! She does well with kids older than her, as I experienced this weekend when we visited family. But kids her age better watch out, not only does she get down, she brings out that little finger and points, neck rolls, and tells them God knows what. And to see the look in her face as she is doing this is priceless! You’d think she is a grown lady. She is something else. I am really hoping that she behaves like a little princess, or that the other girls are just as KRAY KRAY as she is!

****UPDATE**** The party was great. It was only 4 little girls. Each girl was given a Disney Princess dress, Abbey's was Ariel, purse, bubbles wand, and a tent. The girls had a great time drinking tea, hiding in their castles, popping bubbles, and eating cake and ice cream. Abbey did great, she even made friends =]

Monday's blue.......

I hate Mondays. Not because I didn’t get enough time off on the weekend, or because I hate my job but because when I leave for work the hubby and Abbey are snoring away. They get to hang out without me =( Mondays seem like the longest day, time moves sooooooooo slow for me. I try to keep busy, but can’t help and wonder what they’re doing, even though it’s probably nothing exciting, I want to be chillin’ in the backyard while Abbey runs around and Jaime does gardening. But I’m stuck here counting down the minutes, 4:30 hurry, I’m driving myself nuts!!!

Can't believe I made it to work today. Late last night Abbey was having an allergic reaction to a raspberry she tasted, she didn't even eat it. Hubby noticed her scratching at the back of her neck, he noticed a bit of a rash. Since she has baby eczema I took her to the room to apply some hydrocortisone only to discover her upper body was covered in hives. Now as a first time mom you'd think I'd be super freaked out, but I'm surprised at how calm I remain in situations like this, being that it's my first rodeo. So as I applied the cream I called Kaiser's advise nurse, she asked me a bunch of questions one sticking to the back of my brain.....IS SHE BREATHING? Yes infact she was, she was actually walking around, jumping on the bed, climbing on papa, being her usual self only crimson in color. So the nurse told me to give her some Benadryl. If that didn't work and symptoms worsen, bring her in. Hubby went to 24hr Walgreens, came back, Abbey had the medicine, which she is very good at taking by the way. SHE fell asleep, hubby fell asleep, and there I was wide awake, listening to her breathe. All the while googling allergic reactions to raspberry. Got up a couple of times to check the rash, wasn't getting better but definitely not getting worse. After debating for awhile, I got up for work, I checked her.........rash was gone, completely, like nothing ever happened! And now here I am wishing I had stopped and gotten some coffee. P.S. I noticed I started this blog a year ago, and contributed absolutely nothing, I will try and post more often before baby #2, no baby #2 is not on the way yet, but hoping for a Summer 2013 baby =]

WAIT, WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO????

So many bad side effects we hear about pregnancy, nausea, hot flashes, bloating, gas, constipation, hemorrhoids, itchy skin, etc. I was lucky not to suffer from these. 
But post-partum, my hair is falling out and I am sooooooooo forgetful, both cases are EXTREME. 
Every time I run my fingers through my hair, brush my hair, wash my hair, sleep, it just falls out. It got to the point to where I thought I may have a disease I wasn't aware of. Totally freaked me out!!!! But all the research on-line and my cousins and friends all tell me it's NORMAL.
Now the forgetfulness, let's just start with, I had planned to type this up on Monday. It's bad people, I forget what day of the week it is, I go downstairs and totally forget what the heck for until I get back to the top of the stairs. I ask people to remind me of things because I know I'm going to forget. Is it really that hard to remember how old you are???? This one I had heard of before, but does it wear off??? I hope so, for my baby's sake.


I'm scared to go anywhere with her by myself, what if I forget her at Marshall's????

Mother's Day

This year was my first Mother's Day. The hubby gave me a bulb to plant. He didn't know what kind of plant/flower it was. I loved this and anxiously awaited for it tob bloom.
When the leaves sprouted we knew exactly what flower it would be, we just waited out the color. Yesterday we saw that it was yellow. This morning it was this little guy greeting me.
