Translation of zertreten

I.E. stands for 'in example', and the translation of it is 'por ejemplo'. Is there a difference between this term in Latin American or South American Spanish? How would you say the same sentence in Central America?
I wish you also a successful and happy 2008. On New Year's Eve I was here in Costa Rica and I've looked after my 6 weeks old daughter, no holiday in sight. She is not sleeping well at night yet.
