Moms ARE superheroes!

One hears about how moms are this kind of super species on earth or some kind of superheroes and being a daughter I think I never got the picture of how this is very very true. It's been a month since I became a mom and I've come to realize that MOMS ARE AMAZING! Seriously, and my baby doesn't even speak yet, all she does is eat, cry, poop and sleep. 

I think this last month I've been sleeping as much as when I was studying in France minus the 24 hour naps I used to take after partying... This mom job us full time, no pay and the boss is VERY demanding. I must say, this blog post isn't at all a complaint, I am very very happy with my baby girl and her infinite needs. In spite of the many hours I have to spend taking care of my baby, the fact that my clothes sometimes smell like baby vomit, my house is a mess and I don't always have the time to shower all I can say is that it is amazing to have this beautiful little person scream at you when you clean her nose. 

I've had to learn to breastfeed which I must say is more difficult than any video, book or class can teach you, it was very frustrating for me to  learn how to do it and I think it also takes time for the baby to learn how to grab your new gigantic swollen boobs.

Daily bottle cleaning is another task that seems very logic but didn't cross my mind until I realized I had to do it. I ended up buying more bottles because it really becomes a never ending task. 

And even though I'm telling you moms are super amazing things on earth and I never knew it until now,  this picture right here » » » » » represents better the feeling I get every day when I wake up, and the thing is, I think new moms need to be told this beforehand in some way that is more believable. Maybe it says somewhere, like the reality book of motherhood or something, but almost everything I read was telling me how with tips and tricks it was all going to be easier... well maybe it is easiER but not really. Anyways, I think I am learning a little bit every day, or maybe not.. I do know I am trying really really hard and sometimes I am very tired and get frustrated and my husband has to take over but I wouldn't be able to live without my baby anymore. 

Finally all I can say is that I recommend motherhood very very much, it is really great to see how she grows a little more every day, how she is very loved by everyone around us. to sing to her, to calm her when she's crying, even getting screamed at when cleaning her boogers. So far it's been the most amazing experience I've had and I also think that getting through all of this brings me and my husband even closer.

Later folks! 

Rach

About to pop!

My name is Raquel but most people call me Rach, must be easier ho ho. I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and about to have a beautiful baby girl.

I am on maternity leave at the time and I guess that's what's letting me start this blog which I think I've been wanting to do for God knows how long. It is just the perfect way to get out what I have to say and to keep my memories on track, who knows maybe I will go back someday and read it all over. Mostly I think it is for myself, but if someone else gets interested and decides to post comments or what not then I even have someone to discuss everything with and that's GRRREAT!. 

Also I am kind of interested in cooking and here I can put my recipes, the successes and the failures, I have quite a bunch of those.. :-/ to keep the pictures and all.

This will basically be my life, my baby, my kitchen and sometimes maybe even my very handsome husband. So that's my introduction.. might be for the whole world to read or might be for me only but there you go World Wide Web... now you have it!
