old blog - blog antigo

I'm reviving my old blog to post about a journey I'm starting to take that will definetely have a great impact on Sara. It includes going back to being a vegetarian and trying to be healthier. Here is the address: http://madambee.blogspot.com/

Estou ressucitando meu antigo blog pra escrever a respeito de uma nova jornada que estou comecando... isso vai ter um grande impacto na Sara. Inclui voltando a ser vegetariana e tentar ser mais saudavel. Desculpem queridos, mas esta' apenas em ingles pela falta de tempo de traduzir pro Portugues. o endereco esta' acima.

Turned down a job

Yes, in this economic crisis I turned down a job. It would be to start a practice from scratch with an ENT practice to serve my favorite hospital in the area. Build everything from scratch, hearing aids, employees test, the works. Sounds awesome right? Except for the long hours. The workload would not allow me to spend much time with the Sara, it would be very intense. So, I was sad (guilty?) for 1 hour or two, thinking, well, that it was a good professional opportunity. But then Sara was giggling and talking to me and everything was fine again. I'm going to wait for something that would give me more time with her. She is just going to be this old once. Jobs came and go. I'm blessed to have her cuddles and to experience each and every ones of her "firsts".

18 weeks today (18 semanas hoje)

And she decided there is nothing better in this world than... daddy.
yes, she was mad (screaming and sweating) every time I picked her up today. She would extend her arms to daddy and her face would be red. Then he would pick her up and the storm was gone. Oh the joys of being a stay at home mom. Good thing her favorite person happens to be my favorite person too. And the poor man come home with 13 stiches around his eye, 3 mm away from loosing his sight (acident at work). Our hero.

Ela decidiu que nao tem ninguem melhor nesse mundo a nao ser... papai.
yes, ela ficou brava (ate' suando e gritando) todas as vezes que eu a segurei hoje. Extendia os bracinhos pro papai e seu rostinho ficava vermelho como tomate. Ai ele a segurava e era como se a tempestade houvesse passado. Oh alegria de estar em casa "full-time". Ainda bem que a pessoa favorita dela e' a minha tambem. E o pobre homen chegou em casa com 13 pontos ao redor do hoje, 3 mm mais pra cima e ele teria perdido a visao (acidente no trabalho). Nosso heroi.

Desperate Housewife (dona de casa desesperada)

So yesterday I put Daddy in charge of baby and finally got my pile of dishes done and made dinner. Ugh, I swear never again to let this pile up. It's so more time consuming and stressful. Of course my baby decided she didn't want to nap AT ALL all day, so my cleaning plan didn't work too well. The kitchen is in serious need of tidying up. Anyway, right now she is napping on me, but I'm exhausted, I'm going to take a nap too, even if it's only 30 minutes. It's only 9:30 a.m. and I felt like I ran a marathon. But one thing for sure, I do love this little girl. I just feel like smothering her with kisses and hugs, and lots of love. She is so precious. She is growing too fast, and this is the only time she will be this tiny - the dishes can wait. I must try to post pictures later.

Now... would you share with me your secret for a clean house, while having a happy baby and well-fed family? How do all the moms out there do it all? I'm joining Flylady today. Again.

Ontem coloquei o nenem aos cuidados do papai e fui lavar louca e fazer janta. Credo, nunca mais vou deixar louca acumular assim. Parece que leva mais tempo pra limpar, e e' mais estressante. E' claro que a bebe nao quis tirar nem uma sonequinha o dia inteiro, entao meus planos de limapr tudo nao funcionaram. Anyway, ela esta' tirando uma sonequinha em cima de mim agora e eu estou exausta, vou tirar uma sonequinha tambem, nem que sejam apenas 30 minutos. E' apenas 9:30 da manha e parece que eu ja' corri uma maranota. Mas de uma coisa tenho certeja. Eu amo essa meninha, vou cobri-la de beijinhos e abracos. Ela e' tao preciosa. E esta' crescendo muito rapido. A louca pode esperar, ela so' vai ser pequeninha assim uma vez. Vou tentar colocar fotos mais tarde.

Agora... por favor compartilhe comigo... qual e' o seu segredo para uma casa limpa, ao mesmo tempo em que o bebe esta' feliz e a familia bem nutrida? Como sera' que as mamaes ao redor do mundo fazem isso? Vou me inscrever no site da Flylady hoje. De novo.
