Τα πρωτα μας Χριστουγεννα!

Μου φαίνεται απίστευτο...τα πρώτα Χριστούγεννα με την Μαρία έχουν κιόλας ήδη περάσει...Δεν μπορώ να πιστέψω ότι έχω μια κόρη, ότι είμαι μαμα....Όλη μου τη ζωή ένα πράγμα είχα σίγουρο: ότι θα γινόμουνα μαμα. Απο τότε που ήμουνα μικρή και φρόντιζα τη Νινιτα μου, την κούκλα που μου είχαν αγοράσει η μαμα και ο μπαμπας, από τότε ήξερα ότι θα γινόμουνα μαμα. Τώρα το όνειρο έγινε πραγματικότητα. Η Μαρία μου είναι το πιο όμορφο δώρο που θα μπορούσε να μου κάνει ο Bryan. Και είναι πραγματικά δώρο! Έχει απίστευτη προσωπικοτητα.
Είναι χαρούμενη, παίζει μόνη της, χαμογελά σε όλους όσους θέλει!

Στεναχωριέμαι μόνο που η μαμα μου δεν είναι εδώ να τη γνωρίσει. Θα τα πήγαιναν τόσο καλά οι δυο τους! Μου λειπεις αφανταστα Μαρουλα μου, αφανταστα, αν και οι μέρες περνούν χωρις να το καταλαβω....

Bryan, you should know that I appreciate all the effort you put in. I am ecstatic that we have a little girl together. You are the best partner and even though we have our ups and downs, you should know that. You are a terrific father. I am happy this is the first of many Christmases with our expanded family. I love you.

It's a girl!

I knew I am carrying a girl. I had this feeling deep inside me that a little girl was meant to be my first born. When I dreamed of my mother on Sunday night, I woke up Monday morning 100% sure that I am carrying a little girl. It feels like my mom will come back to life through this little girl!
And, if my daughter turns out to be half the woman my mom was, I will be incredibly proud!
I am glad that my husband wants to name her Maria-Carol. I am glad that he never once asked why name her after our mothers! He wouldn't be the man I love if he did, and I am incredibly lucky to have him as my partner!
I can't wait to feel her move inside me. I can't wait to hold her when she is born.
I am thankful that everything is well, that she is healthy and that we are having her.
Mama, thank you for looking after us. Thank you for making your presence known!

returns..

I have returned...returned from a place I call home to a place I call home.
I have returned with a burning desire to return.
This is the first time I feel this burning desire. Unexplainable? maybe....
Things have changed. As life progresses, a need to return to what is familiar, to what is cozy begins to erupt. How can I make you understand I don't know. I can't even explain it to myself very well.
And, I... I who have never been a huge fun of change, I find myself longing for it while being terrified!
I am sure I have confused you. This is a happy time in my life...I don't have complaints. I am about to become a mother. Yet, this burning desire to return remains.
Talk to me if you understand. Tell me what you think.
