I thought I would be one of those career women, who no matter how they sliced it, would yearn for a cubicle over a change table or a computer bag over a diaper bag. I guess because I was focused on achieving success in my professional life for such a long time, I thought I would never shake that mindset.....even with a bebe.
Enter Vanessa and how I was so wrong.
I secretly love getting up in the middle of the night (even if my eyes are burning). Night nurse, pshaw. It is such a wonderful feeling to know this little life is counting on you to make them feel better and get them through to the next day. And our routine of burning down each and every street in our neighborhood with our glistening Uppa Baby stroller, along with our morning trek to Starbucks is absolute heaven. Work seems like such a distant memory and right now, I could not imagine outsourcing this to someone else to enjoy these daily moments with her. As everyone reminds me, they are fleeting.
It already amazes me how she has rapidly transformed in such a short amount of time. My little Vuvu is growing up so fast.
PS: Traveling with her to Hilton Head and last week to Montreal to meet maman and all my gfriends was super easy. She is a flying "rock star".
PPS: Weight loss continues at a gradual pace. So far my motto, which is getting me through on a daily basis is "try don't deny". I have a mind of steel when it comes to self discipline esp when it comes to eating and shedding the pounds.
