in the meantime

I was thinking on what to post, and im writing quite a few ideas down, but in the meantime I will post some pictures of a casual weekend family outing :)

This was mother's day 2010, one year ago. very simple but VERY happy day

Time flies

You always hear it before being a mom or a dad, "they grow up so fast", I actually heard it many times from many people, including my parents.

It's also true that you do not truly appreciate your parents until you become one yourself,

I remember the day it finally came to me like a tidal wave, My Daughter had only been born for a couple of days and I was just finishing breastfeeding her because she fell asleep, so I was just staring at her enjoying the moment and at that time a big wave of emotion came over me and I "felt it" I totally felt it at that moment! The LOVE!!! I still remember the WAVE and became very emotional and called my mother on the phone and told her: “I finally know!” “I now mom how much you love me!!" of course my mom started to cry and I myself still get teary eyed as I am writing this here.

That experience still amazes me.

You always know that your mother loves you, I know that there are people who don't experience that love and I consider myself lucky that my mother is in my life, and grandmother for that matter, I am truly lucky to have had them in my life. My mom is still living but my grandmother "my lita" is not. I wish my grandmother could have been here when my daughter was born and to see how stubborn her great granddaughter is just like her and me.

I also miss my father but I do see him in my daughter’s gestures and in her love of music.

This post was just to say publicly to my mother that I love her and I now appreciate all the things you did for me, and all the patience that you showed even thru my teen age years and my "know it all” twenties. I love you.

OMG! I have not written in more than a year!

I always say I'm going to write in my blog, but always end up doing other things, something else that may or may not be important.


Right now my days are full of: work as a doctor, taking care of other people and then drive a long commute to take care of my family, very happy mind you but very exhausting too! I try to do something for me once in a while but that is very seldom, I miss my friends terribly, let people down most of the time because I want to do so many things on my time off of work that I cannot make time for everything that I want to do or I want to see.



(this is not me, I took this picture using my iphone and instagram of my fellow doctors )

My priority is my child, and my husband of course!, my mother and sister who GOD thank you for this one! now live less than 5 minutes away from my house, which is wonderful.



( here we are at home outside )

I will try to write and include this blog now more often in my schedule as it will help me to remember later on in life how my life is at this moment. I do enjoy reading other blogs and those blogs have helped me in reminding me that there is no "perfect" mother.





thank you all ( mommy blogs) !
