This blog post is costing me some sleep but I am gladly giving it up just to post a quick message.

It's a New Year! Woohoohoo! It's been quite a year for the Beer family. After Naomi's birth, everything has passed so quick. A little too quick. The baby that was once so quiet and still is wiggling all over, squawking and singing, and playing. I sometimes can envision her being a grown woman and getting married. That creeps me out. In the meanwhile, I can still enjoy her being my baby.

The reason for my disappearance from the blogosphere is because our little family passed through a small whirlwind. After giving birth, I started suffering of quite the excruciating pain in the mid part of my chest. After a lot of Doctor visits and stuff they finally found my gallbladder to be full with nice shiny stones. ;) Yeah, so after a lot of pain and trying to figure out what would be best for me and my family I decided to get it taken out. It all took a nice two/three weeks of wondering and then I went to see a surgeon and he scheduled me for surgery immediately. My beautiful mom came to help me out and put my troubled mind at ease. I was so worried for my baby Naomi. I wanted to make sure she'd be in the best care. I wasn't worried about the surgery at all. Naomi and I had struggled a lot in the process of learning how to nurse and because of it I decided that I would supplement with formula as least as possible. I had already been annoyed because I couldn't deliver her how I wanted I didn't want to change my nursing plan.

Well, my daughter would not take her bottle as I went in for surgery and because I had been under anesthesia I couldn't nurse her for the next 12 hours. Naomi didn't like that very much. Neither did I. It was difficult for me to not be able to nurse her. It was difficult for me to care for her while I was sick and it was difficult post surgery. I promised God that if he granted me good health I wouldn't waste any of Naomi's awake time on internet. I have tried to keep that promise so we do a lot of playing and singing. I don't condemn internet usage for moms nor do I look down upon them. I just PERSONALLY decided because of my trial to not take for granted my good healthy days. I sometimes was bed ridden for many hours not being able to play with my daughter. That depressed me a lot. But believe me, sometimes when my husband comes home from work I like to surf some of my guilty pleasures online like (cough cough) ETSY, facebook, and my favorite blogs.

Any way, I'm all healthy now. Woohoo. I love my little girl. She's difficult sometimes and my patience is tried every single day. Sometimes I do crash pretty badly at night but tonight I had it in me to say hello to the world wide web. Other than the gall bladder issue I have deferred another semester. Hopefully to be the last semester I miss. Naomi is in the clingy stage where she won't stand to be away from me and if I dare leave when I come back then she really won't let me put her down anywhere. I still love her. Instead I decided to work on developing talents. I've gotten back on the sewing thing. It's been pretty fun. Well anyway. This is it for today.Buenas Noches, Luna. Buenas Noches, Blogger.
