One. Wow. The famous first year is now over. And I am very happy. It was shaped by ups and downs of an unknown nature. The transition from couple to family, from individual to mother. Everything new, exciting and also extremely stressful. In any case, I've reached my limits. And also went beyond that. I can say that I am proud of myself. I breastfed for 50 weeks and dedicated my entire life to Avi. So I found it good and right. But now I'm really happy to have some space for myself. About my work. About a girls evening. About yoga. About a book. But I am happiest about sleep, which is now part of my life again! Without crap! Cheers to 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep – a dream! So I am slowly returning to my old strength. For ease. To the happiness. A nice feeling. So, cheers to all mothers. Congratulations! Well done! You made it! You can put a glass on it! Bam! You rock! Thank you Oliver for your calm and serenity. Your open ear for things that you don't understand. And your ability to turn any event into a party ❤️ Be hugged, cloud ?. @ cindyu.kayfotografie (advertising) thank you for wonderful memories ❣️
