Yesterday was crazy...

Yesterday was super crazy.
We took Noah out for a walk that turned into a shopping trip. I dragged him around the stores for hours and he was fine. Perfectly relaxed, sleeping in his carseat.
Well then I pushed.
I made reservations for dinner, so after shopping we took him out. Needless to say that he wasn't thrilled.
He was happy in the waiting area but he became very fussy once we sat down. So out of respect to other guests we asked to have our dinner to go. There was no other way. I tried everything possible including *gasp* nursing in public. But to no avail.
Once I took him out to the bar area he calmed down instantly.
He likes bars! Well who doesn't?
He liked that the lights were dimmed, music was louder than usual and the room was full of people.
We brought him home and he fell asleep after a diaper change and a long session of nursing. He slept for 6 hours without waking up.
But he woke up with a cold. He was coughing, sneezing and he had a runny nose.
After a hot bath all of those went away, I hope they wont come back.
Right now he is sleeping and I think I'm gonna take a nap as well :)

My sweetie is 8 years old today!!!

My niece, Neira, turned eight today. I wish I could be with her on this and every other birthday, but I know that's not possible. She lives in Mostar, together with my sister and her husband. I miss them all the time, but especially today.
Every time her birthday rolls around I start thinking of all the things I've missed.
I wasn't there when she was born, when she started crawling, talking, walking... And I know that my sister won't be here to see Noah do all that.
It's sad.
But life is that way, you just have to "keep swimming."
I asked what she wants for her birthday and she said she wants to see Noah before he gets big.
How sweet is that????
Noah is too small to travel this year, but we are planning to go visit them next year.
On another note, I had my tooth extracted today. I just came back from my awesome dentist/friend Lara.
She did a good job. The only thing is that tooth extractions suck and mine is no exception. I hate the feeling of blood in my mouth, but it doesn't hurt.
Noah is sleeping right now.
We are at my parents house and he loves playing with grandpa. He is such a cute little boy.
I'll post his picture a little bit later.

What do you name your blog?

That is the question I was asking myself today.
If I start writing a blog, will I commit to it? Will I have anything to write about? What would I name my blog?
The answer to all the questions I got from the new love of my life, my 2 month old baby boy: Noah.
I could write about him, talk about him and think about him all the time and I admit, I am that kind of mom I will show everyone his pictures because I think he is the sweetest, handsomest and happiest baby in the world.
So while I was pondering my entrance to the blog world I heard a "goo" from the play-pen where my 9 week old sunshine was happily sleeping.
As I looked down on him, I saw the answer to all my questions as well as a name for my blog...
