Enjoying almost 5 amazing months of my motherhood journey

Disfrutando casi 5 increibles meses de mi viaje de maternidad

bilingual/bilingue

There isn't a day that I don't smile at my baby girl and thank the universe for this beautiful road of motherhood. Although, there are moments I ask myself, what did I get myself into! It has been an amazing trip where I always end up soaring high with happiness. If I could only fully describe the feeling Zazil gives me as she looks up at me with her big sparkling eyes, pauses for a moment from nursing, smiles at me, and coos before going back to feeding. I see my reflection in her eyes, as she loves me back. Ah, beautiful moments and gifts of life. Now that I know how much work, time, attention, and love my baby requires of me, I appreciate and love my mother even more for giving me everything I needed to become the person that I am now. I only hope that I too can deliver a nurturing and loving environment that will make Zazil blossom to a beautiful conscious woman.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Zazil from the past couple of months.





Zazil

Hello, hello! We're ecstatic to introduce you to Zazil, our baby girl.

Invocation

She and I had 5 days of laboring work that finally lead to her birth by cesarean on January 5th 2013 at 7:45p.m.. She weight 2980 grams (6.6 lbs) measured 50 cm long (19.6 in.). Jeronimo was present at her birth and I’m very grateful for that. I have to thank all of my compañeras y amigas who guided and supported us in our plan A for an out of hospital birth and our plan B humanized hospital team as well. Many thanks to all the familia and friends that prayed, lit up candles, and sent us their energy to us in these days! Infinite thank yous!
Nantzin, Jeronimo, and Zazil

Our favorite look: the oouuu, wow look.

Soy Partera y lo más bello que la vida me ha regalado es la oportunidad de vivir lo que viven las maternas que apoyo en su hermoso viaje del ritual de pasaje a maternidad.  Estoy cargando vida dentro de mí, dentro de mi vientre cósmico, un perfecto universo acuático para mi bebé.  Estoy respirando, comiendo, soñando para dos…tres.  Estoy caminando junto con Jerónimo en este viaje cósmico de multi-emociones.  Estoy embarazada. Estoy viviendo el milagro de creación. Esto vibrando de luz.  ¡Estoy feliz! Feliz de estar viviendo esa concocción de emociones incluyendo miedo, ansiedad, inquietud, esperanza, entusiasmo, felicidad, etc. Ustedes las mamacitas saben lo que digo.

Así es amigos, estoy feliz de compartir que tengo 28 semanas de embarazo (6 meses) y mi bebé y yo estamos saludables.  Quiero compartir con ustedes mis experiencias en este viaje y eventualmente mi pasaje sagrado a ser madre.  Por favor acompáñame en mi blog y camina conmigo en este momento especial de mi vida.  Ve Como mi barriga cambia mientras mi bebé crese dentro de mí.  Y por favor comparte tus pensamientos y experiencias conmigo. 

Gracias y bendiciones.  Ometeotl. Nantzin
