So where do I begin....oh yeah! My sister,
yelizabeta convinced me to "blog"......I'll be honest, I'm a bit hesitant about this and not sure for how long I'll be committed to this craze.
I'm what you call "your average Russian" living somewhat of a vanilla, boring life with an exception to the new addition to my family. So, yeah......Stella has officially crowned me with a "mom" title. As a new mom, every day is an educational adventure.
After a 48 hour horrendous labor experience, I decided to file that madness deep down in my brain.
after laying the hospital bed for 15 hours, I decided to stand for a while
Texting the latest labor updates to friends and family
Stella was born weighing 8 lb 10 oz and 21.5 inches long

Sleep. All those people who warned us that, "baby = lack of sleep" they stand corrected.....but they don't tell you that its all worth it. Yes, I went from sleeping an average of 7 hours of sleep, down to 3-4 hours per night. Do I have dark bags underneath my eyes? Absolutely! But I look at them as my honor batch's of being a caring, loving mom....besides, God created smart individuals whom fabricated make-up!.....at least that's what I tell myself when catching a rear appearance of my reflection in the mirror now a days.
