Having another baby!?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOG7APsBR5I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Are you having another baby!? That is the most asked question for me and for every mom in the world. But before we rush into a conclusion there are a few points that we have to look at.
A couple of weeks ago I read in a blog that if you are considering having another baby you should ask you that question when you're having a bad day, because is easy to want another baby when you're having a good time with your child; But when they mishave or have a bad day is another story.
Yes, thats a relly good question to ask you but, I think that there's a few other things that you have to consider too; So I end up with 4 points.
Watch the video en let me know what you think!

My best advice

Since I became a mom a couple of friends have had their babies too and every time something happens with their childs they call/text me for advice, I really like to help people, I've always been the person who has an answear for everything, so I'm expected to recieve those kind of calls, but when they do it every day or at the middle of the night, I just want to kill them!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaning about the fact that they consider my short experience as a mom enough to put me first in their phone agendas (actually that's an honor) I'm complaning about the fact they expect me to resolve all of their problems with jus a text or a call.
The inspiration for this post was an extense text that I recieved recently from a really close friend with an extremelly desperation of solution of is problem.
So, I thought that before I start getting more of those ridiculous/un-necessary messages that I wanted to share with you the best advice that I can give you in the parenthood department.
No one knows what to expect when you have a baby, no matter how much you read* or learn on those 9 months of gestation, so don't expect to know everything by then. The secret is to learn by experience, which means don't be afraid to mess it up once...or twice.
People will judge you as a parent all the time but what really matters is what you and your partner thinks is best for your baby.
And last but not least: Chill the F*ck out! There's no need to freak out about everything. Sometimes what you think is bad it really doesn't; So please don't rush to the ER everytime he/she spits more than "usual" or has a weird condition your grandma/aunt/mother told you; take your time to see how everything evolves in a day and trust me if he/she has something really bad (that actually requires a trip to the ER) you will know.

Can I have my burguer, please?


You may wonder the reason of the name of this post, but after a really serious blog -HERE- I thought it would be better if I posted something less tragic, like a funny story.
First, Let's talk about burguers; To start they're not my first choice when it comes to culinary delights and second if I want to eat some, I don't buy them, I make them at home (is cheaper & healthier), so in perspective it was really weird of me to ask (beg) my husband for a regular McDonalds burguer at the end of my pregnancy. This was the only thing I was craving at this point, but for some reason every time I wanted to eat one I couldn't buy it (The store was closed, I didn't have a car to drive there, I was to tired to go, etc) It seem like forver, until one day my hubby came early from work and took me to McDonalds drive thru and bouhgt me one single burguer, no fries, no soda just my little "precious" burguer. Finally it was on my hands! It was a achievement but just when I arrived home I felt something runing down my legs. "My water just broke!" I thought. I looked down and there was water. I just stood there with my burguer in one hand and my hearth in the other. My hubby looked at me and I said: "Oh no! My water just broke! Now I can't eat my burguer!" (You're not supposed to eat something during labor) "Are you sure?" He asked me but I wasn't sure of it because there wasn't enough water coming out. "Go ahead and eat the burguer if you want" I told him in a playful way
I rushed upstairs and called my OB to find out it was just pee (LOL) It only took me 1min but when I went down to kitchen the burguer was GONE!!! I was really mad/sad with my husband because I waited so long for this and we couldn't go buy one more at that time; He promissed me to buy me another one the next day.
The next day at 7pm he arrived at home as he promissed with my new brand burguer to only find out I was in labor and this time was for real!
In conclusion, I NEVER HAD MY BURGUER! Oh well, at least I got a pretty funny story to tell, huh?
So now, Can I have my burguer, please?

Delivery Recovery (My near death story)


Theres one thing I haven't told anyone yet (besides my family and a couple of close friends) let's just say that I experience the most weird & frightening event in my life after I gave birth to Alina.
The epidural was fading away and I was eating well; Everything seemed to be ok when a nurse came to the room and told me that I was allowed to take a shower if I wanted to and so I did, but not after I took a peek of my little angel sleeping. My mom took a few pictures of us while I was standing, I was a little bit sore and dizzy but nothing that I couldn't handle so I thought it was ok. I hurry to the shower because I was getting exhausted and my husband helped me, I couldn't sat down because I was half naked and the bathroom seemed dirty (to me). We were trying to get the hot water to come down but nothing happened, we were there like 5 minutes only buy I was getting tired and tired, so my husband went to get a nurse to help us with it, so he left me there standing, I never told him I was feeling dizzy and exhausted.
I was waiting there by myself when I suddenly felt a warm feeling inside of me and I couldn't breath well, I was about to sit down when this urge to lay down came to me, I was about to faint!  I screamed for help and the last thing I remember it was my mom coming to the bathroom. I couldn't do anything, it was really scary and even when I remember the sensation of vulnerability I kind of freak out. I have fainted before (when I was 15) but this was different in a really horrible way.
My mom and husband said to me that my eyes rolled out and my mouth was purpple and it was really scary, they thought I was dead (My hearthbeat was barely there) On the other side I wasn't aware of anything, I actually was having a "blast" there, I was relaxed and warm; A soft light was caressing my face. For a minute I was in heaven; Until I remembered that that kind of feeling wasn't normal to me (such an emo LOL) So I reacted to the reality and came back; Slowly I started to hear everyone talk.
I was in my trolley and I could see everyone above me but I couldn't move or talk, I wanted to tell so bad that I was ok but I couldn't, until my mouth open and a simple (and stupid) "hello" came out.
After I saw everyone worried and crying (for some reason) I felt guilty, I didn't want to make them feel that way.
This may sound like a lot of drama or you may have a worst story but this is the most scary thing that ever happened to me and the reason I didn't told you before, is that scares me to think that that day I could have gone and left my baby without a mom.
