Wearing a SLING…carrying a DOG?

Published by Eugenia 31 May 2010 - 8:15 in blog,life,Nadia —

Indeed, this is the most frequent question people ask or have on their faces when they see us wearing the sling.

Since we decided to take Nadia outside the house, we used only the sling as a baby-carrying instrument. And it’s very funny to see people passing near to me or Pedro and take a look at what we are carrying inside. The reactions are different: either they smile to us, even small children, either they spell it out laud “it’s a child…” or “they are really crazy!” or “was it a dog?”.

These days I realized that if you are a little bit different from the majority and you live in Bucharest/Romania, people actually stare at you, so you really feel different. And I have in mind persons with special needs, black people or even Chinese that live here.

This is sad in my opinion. These people don’t need to see all these reactions, they are perfectly conscious about the differences. I think this is a thing we need to educate in time and probably when Nadia will grow, she will not stare at mums who are carrying their kids in a Sling or a Wrap or a Mei tai.

PS: Some new pictures with Nadia, outside and inside the house :)

First week of a happy life in 3

Hello everybody,

Mummy is back online and ready to write about the new life of Dobrestii, which got a new shape starting from Saturday, May 15th 2010, 4:45  pm when Nadia was born.

Indeed, Nadia has already a week and we are very proud of her.

She is very well, gaining weight fast :) and very very pretty. Besides the 3 usual things new born baby do (sleep, eat and poo) Nadia has done other interesting things like going outside with us, like sleeping in a sling

and in a hammock , smiling with all her face after a healthy meal with mummy’s milk
, using reusable diapers and wearing some special merino wool short pants :)

So, we are very very happy about our new life and our gorgeous litlle girl.

Stay tooned cause we will write again pretty soon.

PS: Other pictures with Nadia:

Kisses and hugs,

Nadia, Eugenia and Pedro

39 weeks passed, ONE more to go

Published by Eugenia 6 May 2010 - 8:16 in blog,events,life,Wedding —

Theoretically, today it starts the last week of my pregnancy with Nadia. So, within this post I will share with you some of the thoughts and feelings I experienced during all this time. And because my memory suffered a bit, I will tell the story from the end to the beginning :)

I wish that all mammies could experience a magic pregnancy. We’ll keep you posted of what happens :) Time is ticking away… :)

Month no.9 – The most AWESOME, MAGIC and EXTREMELY HAPPY month.

These are the words which describe this day. I feel happy I managed to take this pregnancy up to this point with such a positive attitude about what happened. It’s very funny to see each day your belly looking like a big beach ball behind the clothes. And not seeing anymore your entire feet when looking from top to bottom :)

Month no. 8 – Shopping and nesting moods

Indeed, this was the period when I went crazy and bought most of the the little things Nadia will use in the first months. It was great to buy things which made her little bed absolutely beautiful, to arrange her things in the dressing room and to nest our new home to be all right when Nadia comes. This month we also attended Ramona’s Lamaze class in order to learn more about babies. We totally recommend this training, because it gives you a full image of what pregnancy means and what you should do with the little one when is born.

Month no. 7 – Curious about Nadia’s evolution

Both me and Pedro were very curious to go to the doctor and see our little one. We could not wait to see her pretty and funny face, to hear her heartbeats and to find out how much weight she gain in the last weeks. The evolution was good in general with some little issues which were solved by Mrs. doctor. During this month we decided about her name, Nadia Teodora Dobrescu :)

Months no. 6 – 4 – Body changing and shopping mood…again

For these 3 months my belly started to grow and I was “forced” :) to go shopping for some clothes. Pedro was not very happy about it, but finally he accepted the situation. Of course, for Nadia’s and her mammy sake ;) I also have to thank to all the mammies who offered me some of their clothes. I liked them a lot and thanks again :) I guess that this month we asked Dragomirestii to be Nadia’s God parents and they accepted our proposal. Yupppiiiii :)

Months no. 3 – 2 – Getting used with the idea of having a baby

Because my belly was still a “six pack” I was thinking about Nadia more like an idea. There were no visible evidences that I am pregnant, so I can not say very much about this period, just that I was getting used with this idea. Meantime, the pregnancy sickness was a bit disturbing, so I was looking for some “treatments”. And the winner in my case was the fresh orange juice.

Month no. 1 – WE’RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!!

Another, or the first Most AWESOME, MAGIC and EXTREMELY HAPPY month . We were totally happy about this and started to spread the good news to everybody. Of course, the happiness was on the edge also for our families and friends. So, we were high on the sky!!!
