How Much Longer??!?!?!

Me is sadly still suffering from one of those: (and wanting to know...)

How long does it take you to heal from one of those?

Parting...

... is such sweet sorrow!

My mom flew back to Portugal on Tuesday (yes, we're all Brazilian, but she lives there with my brother, long story).

I miss her a lot. A LOT! I still wonder what I am doing with Olivia, I mean, it's funny cuz I have babysat so many kids and loved it and thought I had so much experience and was so ready but... for some reason I still look at Olivia and wonder if I am doing things right. As Trevor says, "taking care of babies is easy: you feed them, you change their diaper, you bathe them, you let them sleep and you cuddle with them." Isn't that true? It's not the hardest job on earth so far, but I still feel so uncapable. I know I will feel more secure one day, how about that day come tomorrow?! :)

I have to say thank you to all of you my friends who visit and post on my blog! Your advice and experiences are helping me tons! I have been procrastinating to visit you but I will soon, I promise! Now that my mainha is gone I need distraction when Olivia is asleep... but... speaking of her, she just woke up!

Enjoy the pics of mainha's last day here and I will be back soon :)
