At the end of the day, are they worth it?<\/p>\n<p>So it could happen, after a New Year\u2019s Eve in a mountain lodge, while going down the fascinating Marmolada peaks, that a doubt starts weaving into your head, and that doubt becomes real once you get home; so real that you find out you are having a little dwarf, as big as a blueberry, an unplanned blueberry, that you have already put through lots of things because you just didn\u2019t know he was there, but you already feel inexplicably bound to.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a year now, baby blueberry was born despite all of my fears, during the hottest summer I can remember. He\u2019s now 4 months and he has already shaken my life more than everyone else, filling my days with big smiles, many diapers and an infinite joy, together with a healthy dejection when I hope my waistline will get back to an acceptable size.<\/p>\n<p>Being a mum is exhausting but wonderful, and being a mum on high heels with straightened bangs is just a little bit more tiring, but we are working on it.<\/p>\n<p>Here you have some pictures from his welcome party, a few months ago.. I hope you like them..<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15186\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15182\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15188\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15183\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15184\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15187\" src=\"https:\/\/cosamimettooggi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"968\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always been a bit allergic to and maybe envious, in a healthy way, of those people who claim to own absolute truths, and also to those who program every single detail of every single thing about their lives: their future career, the path to follow, the city to live in, a creed to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3753,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[785],"tags":[1459,1269,1460],"class_list":["post-5419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-motherhood-en","tag-kids","tag-motherhood","tag-party"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.0 -
