Tangerine's PoV

Yes, Alex is one month and one week old. Time passes by and he is getting bigger and bigger. He now wieghs 5.730 grams. I wanted to post on his one month anniversary but when you have a baby plans don’t work out as you’d like. For his birthday he got a Pocoyo toy and he became a Barça member. We thought that when he’d be 15 years old he’d be proud to be a member since he was one month old. I hope he will not be a Madrid member because then we’d have a problem .

How is it to be a mother? I could say a lot about it but I will try to make it short and simple: hard but wonderful. You get no sleep: the first month we only slept two or three hours per day. He cried a lot and we had him in our arms without knowing what to do. You get desperate, you think you’re not a good mother, you cry, you want to get away but then you realize that he needs you so you spend the night with him in your arms, talking to him, trying to make him feel better. Now he sleeps more and we’re starting to forget those days, things are getting better and we are starting to enjoy this new stage of our lives. I hope it will stay this way and we will not get back to those sleepless nights and sleepless days as now we have lots of things to do.

Next month we’ll get married and we have to prepare everything. We don’t even know which restaurant to choose. I hope this week we finally decide and start to prepare everything else: invitations, rings, dress, suit, etc. Fortunately it will be an intimate ceremony so I hope it will not be very difficult to organize. We’d like to go somewhere at least 2 or 3 days after the wedding, a kind of honeymoon, but I don’t know if Alex will be fine those days without us. We’d like to go to Praga or Dublin, we still don’t know exactly which one to choose. If any of you has any recommendation please send it to us. Alina, I count on you for this one.

Well, nothing else for the moment. It’s dinner time for Alex so I should get going.
