Don't Freak Out, Mom

Well, we had our first accident with injury yesterday.  Daniel was crawling around on the floor (we have hardwoods) and lost his balance.  He has certainly done that before, but this time his bottom teeth hit his upper lip and let me tell you, that was a lot of blood.  I started to freak out but had to calm myself down so I wouldn't upset Daniel.  I got him a cold wet washcloth, the bleeding stopped quickly, and 5 minutes later he was playing around on the floor in the kitchen, happy as a clam.  I was concerned that he would have some discomfort when eating or nursing, but it hasn't bothered him.  I just hope it heals quickly with no further pain or problems.

Although my physical pain is no match to the heartache I feel when my son is hurting, I am seriously sore from Bodypump class yesterday.  Anyone else take Bodypump?  It's a Les Mills class with different choreography, and the instructor busted out some new stuff on us yesterday.  My back, chest, and glutes are killing me today!  But I grabbed a few miles today to keep myself loose, and to stay on track with mileage.  If you sit still, the pain lingers!  But if you work through it, it's gone before you know it.  Although it's a little colder this week than it has been lately, I'm hoping it'll be nice enough tomorrow morning that Daniel and I can hit up the jog stroller and pound the pavement a little bit.

On a much lighter note, I went to the bead store today!  I love my local bead store in Smithfield, NC (Cindale Beads).  The people there are so nice, they have a great inventory, and they do beautiful work!  I needed some advice on how to finish a couple of necklaces I put together last week, plus I wanted to check out some new color mixes they just got in.  I didn't intend on spending any money, but $35 later I walked out with some gorgeous new beads and a ton of new ideas!  I love it when a plan comes together.

Happy Beading!

TGIF

What a great week this has been!  This winter has been so mild, and I have loved being able to take Daniel out for runs in the jog stroller.  We went for 6.5 miles yesterday afternoon.  I still can't believe it was almost 70 out on Feb 2nd!

I got some more work done on my etsy shop, and am hoping to go public with it by Valentine's Day.  The girl who did my banner and avatar did an amazing job. 

I started a new Long & Skinny scarf.  It's a black yarn with all the colors of the rainbow in it.  Very pretty.  I'm also working on a scarf that I know I'm going to want to keep, but alas, I must put it on the market.  It's a really soft peach yarn paired with a glittery gold ribbon-y yarn.  Gorgeous!  I was actually given that yarn as a gift so I'll have to try to find it online or in a store somewhere, as I have never seen it in any of the stores I usually frequent.

I really feel like I'm starting the weekend off right.  I went to a great spin class this morning, met some friends for an AWESOME sushi lunch at Sono in downtown Raleigh (if you've never tried it, you have to), and will be meeting some friends for dinner and drinks tonight.  Then tomorrow I'm off to Greensboro for my college roommate's baby shower!  To top it all off, Daniel has slept so well the last 2 nights.  I hope we're starting a trend.

Happy Weekend!
