This was mother's day 2010, one year ago. very simple but VERY happy day
life is not a diet
first it was about my battle with being a new mom and PPD . Now its about balance; being a mom, my integrative medical practice, trying to still loose pregnancy weight and everything else that has to do with life.

Time flies
You always hear it before being a mom or a dad, "they grow up so fast", I actually heard it many times from many people, including my parents.
It's also true that you do not truly appreciate your parents until you become one yourself,
I remember the day it finally came to me like a tidal wave, My Daughter had only been born for a couple of days and I was just finishing breastfeeding her because she fell asleep, so I was just staring at her enjoying the moment and at that time a big wave of emotion came over me and I "felt it" I totally felt it at that moment! The LOVE!!! I still remember the WAVE and became very emotional and called my mother on the phone and told her: “I finally know!” “I now mom how much you love me!!" of course my mom started to cry and I myself still get teary eyed as I am writing this here.
That experience still amazes me.
You always know that your mother loves you, I know that there are people who don't experience that love and I consider myself lucky that my mother is in my life, and grandmother for that matter, I am truly lucky to have had them in my life. My mom is still living but my grandmother "my lita" is not. I wish my grandmother could have been here when my daughter was born and to see how stubborn her great granddaughter is just like her and me.
I also miss my father but I do see him in my daughter’s gestures and in her love of music.
This post was just to say publicly to my mother that I love her and I now appreciate all the things you did for me, and all the patience that you showed even thru my teen age years and my "know it all” twenties. I love you.

OMG! I have not written in more than a year!
Right now my days are full of: work as a doctor, taking care of other people and then drive a long commute to take care of my family, very happy mind you but very exhausting too! I try to do something for me once in a while but that is very seldom, I miss my friends terribly, let people down most of the time because I want to do so many things on my time off of work that I cannot make time for everything that I want to do or I want to see.
(this is not me, I took this picture using my iphone and instagram of my fellow doctors )
My priority is my child, and my husband of course!, my mother and sister who GOD thank you for this one! now live less than 5 minutes away from my house, which is wonderful.
( here we are at home outside )
thank you all ( mommy blogs) !

first of many
I never thought of writing my thoughts or daily activities but for me this has been very therapeutic, during my pregnancy everything seemed possible in a positive sense of things I was lucky, let me rephrase that, I was extremely lucky, I had zero ZERO!! pregnancy symptoms, felt great, my delivery also was good, the pain? yes it was there and i felt it, believe me I felt it, but the hard times was to come... very hard..
My daughter, let talk about her, she is my gift in this life. she makes everything worth it and a smile from her makes all the pain go away.
well this is the start, I'll see how this goes....
