I cannot believe it’s been, what? 4 months since our last post? what am I talking about? Actually, I can. My husband and I were busy turning from a “couple of adventurers” to a family of 3 mayhemmers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot remember a more memorable day in my life than the day I had my daughter. September 9th 2019 was a minute to minute blur that I had instructed my husband to annotate on his reMarkable. That was the day I felt reborn. In fact, having my mom, dad and husband at my side in the birth room made this the perfect birth (despite initially signing up for a home birth in Chicago!). How appropriate that my daughter was born while doing a sun salutation followed by a malasana (apologies to the nurse admonishing me from doing “stand on your bed-yoga” with my walking epidural). She came out whilst listening to my favorite Pandora curated channel (Spanish guitar) and mommy munching on nearly a kilo of watermelon and pineapple slices! (Pregnancy cravings anyone?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading to Magee Hospital for my “induction”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That day we discovered our true side kick for life, our little human has just the right taste of adventure and I am so excited to add her to this blog. [Note to self: ask husband to change blog subheader to reflect new content].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I owe a special thank you to my medschool classmate who gave me the courage to start writing {learning to write} again without even knowing it. This morning after bresstfeeding Tosha and placing her back in the bassinet and sitting and daydreaming about our next adventures, I stumbled upon the Pittsburgh Mommy Blog<\/a> post about Mommy and Me classes. Although it didn’t contain the “2 month old and mommy swim class” listing, I was blown away by all the opportunities to explore with our baby as she grows up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not at all a gifted writer, and certainly still using too many punctuations and mixed tenses, but as I write this blog has taken on a new meaning. My goal is to try my best to write the little stories from Antonina’s travels as we learn as a new family and explore our new home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s so good to be back to Pittsburgh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the adventures of the Three Rivers Goats begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
