Can You Say "Mama"?

A couple of weeks ago, the LO finally said Mama while we were out shopping and a huge smile spread across my face! She CAN do it, I thought joyfully. She can finally pronounce the M sound! 

But, soon after, she returned to the usual Dada and "Baba".

We have been working on it little by little, and today she  did the funniest thing. While eating breakfast this morning I leaned in, looked right at her and said "Maaaaa maaaaa". She leaned right back into me, grinned, and said  "Baaaaa baaaaa". I kid you not!

Now, don't get me wrong... I love "Baba" and think it's sweet, but I am still hoping for Mama to become the norm one of these days. 

One day!

Like A (Broken) Record

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.
What do we do? We swim, swim.”
Dory – Finding Nemo 

It's really strange the way the world works. A year ago, the thought of spending a few hours alone with the LO gave me tremendous and sometimes debilitating anxiety, and today... right now... all I want to do is drop all of my responsibilities and hang out with her; climb into bed and snuggle under the covers for a long nap!

Mainly because everything ELSE is giving me tremendous anxiety…

Being back at work full time, and extremely busy, has left me with little to no time to bla bla bla on the blog these days it seems. I am promising myself that I will not let this place run down or become a monthly update spot but, like most thing, it will take time to figure out. In the meantime, this will be another general update post.

First a quick update on health related issues.

Explaining Anxiety

Anxiety has been a hot topic lately... with friends, co-workers, my doctor, our travel agent, daycare and of course with DH too. It comes and goes, has peaks and valleys, but it is never truly 100% gone; as much as I try to hide it.

It is better than it was a year ago, but will it ever be something in my past?  Well, now that I have come to terms with the fact that I have always had anxiety to some degree, I can't really say...

Happy (Belated) New Year!

It has been more than a month that I haven’t posted anything! They say that time flies when you’re having fun, but guess what? It flies when you’re not too!

Let’s just say 2017 has not been a great year for health so far…
