So my latest DIY project was having a baby. Needless to say this definitely changed the decor of my apartment and my life in general. Even though you always hear people tell you how crazy having a baby is, you don't really feel it until you go down that path yourself. If the whole process was not physically and mentally hard enough...try doing it all in French!
I got lucky to have a very good pregnancy and birth. It breezed by and I even went on a baby moon to Los Angeles in my sixth month. The most annoying thing I had to do was get my blood drawn every month to check for what the French call toxoplasmus (some sort of stomach flu you can get from unwashed veggies/fruits and cat poop). Also because of this same toxoplasmus I had to wash my fruit and vegetables in vinegar to make sure there was none of this bacteria on it. My baby came late she arrived at almost 42 weeks. However, the birth itself was great. I got the epidural and basically felt nothing. The insanity all started after she popped out!
The first three months were crazy. She wanted to eat all the time and refused to sleep in her own crib. The only position she would fall asleep in is on mine or my husbands chest! My body felt like it was run over by a bus. I chose to breastfeed and that definitely takes a toll on a woman's body. The baby just sucks out all the good vitamins and you feel exhausted. My baby is 5 months right now and I still don't feel like I have fully recovered from the whole pregnancy/birth process.
But she is really cute and fat.
