Hello you!
I'm Lidjyne, the creator of My Baby Avenue, and I'm delighted to be back with you for our very first blog post! 🎉
Today, I'm going to tell you my mom story and give you a glimpse of what you can expect from this blog. Here, I'm going to share with you my tips, advice, and my experience as a mother to another mother.
Together, we will navigate this incredible adventure that is motherhood, with all its ups and downs. 😊
My Journey as a Mom: A Tsunami of Happiness
Becoming a mother was like a tsunami for me, a wave of inexplicable happiness, really! Before that, the world of babies didn't interest me at all. I knew I wanted to become a mother one day, but there was no rush. I preferred to spend time with my family, my partner, his loved ones, and my friends. I simply enjoyed the pleasures of life.
Then, my son entered my life, a completely unexpected event. At first, I was very scared of becoming a mother. I only thought about giving birth, me who had a phobia of hospitals. But from my fifth month of pregnancy, I started to really enjoy being pregnant. I talked to him a lot, I danced, and I was full of energy, as if I wasn't pregnant, a real live wire. Except when we were confined, it quickly calmed me down. 😅
Pregnancy and Childbirth in the Middle of Lockdown
Despite being pregnant and giving birth in the middle of lockdown (in April), everything went wonderfully well. My son arrived a month early. That day was stressful and full of laughter, because my partner did everything he could to relax me. A love. It was also one of the happiest days of my life, my best birthday present!
After that day, I started to take a more serious interest in the world of babies. I wanted to know everything, I wanted to be a PERFECT mother in every way. But reality quickly caught up with me with the baby blues. I cried in secret, I ignored the fatigue, to the point where I never knew when I was tired. I only knew that I had reached the peak of fatigue when I had bad migraines. You know, the bad migraine where you have to lock yourself in the dark and quiet, or take a hot shower to relieve yourself and relax. The migraine that tells you to go to sleep...
My Second Baby: A Joy-Filled Experience
Three years later, I had my daughter, my gumdrop, my baby koala. This pregnancy was bliss; I was so happy to be a mother again, and especially to have a daughter. It was just perfect, a dream.
Today, my daily life rhymes with logistics (and yet, I only have two children, so all my respect to those parents who have more than two), love, joy, happiness, fatigue, cook, housewife, nurse, woman and entrepreneur and of course MOM. I specify that I share all these wonderful things with the super dad of my children, a true support and love!💕
