When Jesse and I were dating we would see each other every weekend and we would go out dancing, have brunch or stay in and watch a movie. When I had Natalia, I understood that those spontaneous dates would be more difficult to have and instead we would have to plan our dates, which isn't …

Hello,
Everyone talks about how excited they are for being pregnant, how in love they are with their unborn baby, let me just say this was not my experience at all.
When I had my daughter suffered from postpartum depression, this period in my life was very difficult to me and for my spouse. After seeking help, I can finally say that I'm in a much better place and thanks to my moms group it lead me to create my own blog.
I want to share my experience to all New Moms so that they don't suffer as much as I did or to be that voice that says "You are not alone".
You will find me write about my life before I had my child, how my culture has impacted my decisions and maybe some humor/fun content. I will NOT suggest how you should take care of your child, I find it that everywhere you may go there is always someone who would like give you unsolicited advice on how to raise your child. This is a place of serenity and just expressing the true feelings of a new mom.

Struggling to be understood

I love you?
There’s finally peace and quiet in the house. I put baby girl down for a nap and I can finally enjoy some “me” time. No cooking, no cleaning, no doing laundry, just relaxing and watching an episode of the Real Housewives. Earlier, I was playing with Natalia and for a second I wanted to freeze …
Communication is Key
Being able to communicate with your partner seems to be easier said than done. How many times have my fights been the source of not speaking clearly with Jesse? or Assuming rather than asking? There have been situations where my emotions get the best of me and doesn’t allow me to see clearly. When I …
I’m Pregnant?
I always envision having kids in my mid-thirties, married and debt free. I didn’t think it would happen this soon. I went on a trip to México with my family and Jesse. We had a great time and the food was amazing! However, I noticed that I was feeling full and never really hungry. Before …
Things I wish I knew Post Pregnancy
When I was pregnant last year, I was that person that went to the bookstore and looked for those “what to expect when expecting” books; I just wish someone had told me what happens when you are done expecting. What is happening to my body? What’s with all of these hospital bills? When is it …
