Hey there, Heal Squad! Welcome to a truly special episode. I'm updating you on my journey to motherhood and Athena's first month here along with Keven who's sitting in! It's been a whirlwind of emotions from the moment I found out we were pregnant, and today I share it all with you! So, picture this: bath time with my little peanut, Athena. Her big eyes sparkling with joy as I lovingly dry her off. It's moments like these that make my heart burst with happiness! But let's not forget the challenges—I talk about the need for postnatal support and better parenting education. And guess what? Athena was born in her embryonic sac—a rare and magical occurrence! It got me thinking—maybe she's destined for something special, like saving the world or being a spiritual guru! Oh, the possibilities! You know what's also magical? Family and friends! I'm creating a "committee" of loved ones who will be her guiding stars when mommy and daddy are away. We all need that support network, don't we? Through this journey, I've learned some powerful life lessons. Embrace imperfections, folks! And let's talk about gift-giving—skip the stuffed animals and go for something meaningful, like an astrology chart reading! So, my beautiful souls join me as I share the joys, challenges, and life-changing moments of my journey to motherhood. I promise you'll be inspired, moved, and reminded to cherish every moment. Let's savor life and create beautiful memories together. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, love, and lessons to last a lifetime! So much love to you all! Mwah! Travel experiences with a newborn and the importance of having a supportive community to help during the early days of motherhood. The significance of daughter's name, Athena Alexandra, and how it represents strength, wisdom, and spirituality. The baby gift of an astrology reading and what it predicted for Athena. The importance of documenting precious moments of baby through videos and photos, using apps like "One Second Every Day." The love and excitement for bath time and the heartwarming joyful experience for both. Videos of special moments, such as father Costas making breakfast during their time in Milwaukee. The overwhelming love and support from friends, fan and a list of various celebrities. The possibility of having more children in the future and the potential importance of giving daughter, Athena, a sibling. Gift giving for newborns, avoiding the glut of stuffed animals, and buying clothes in larger sizes to plan ahead for different seasons. Creating a baby “support committee" of friends and family members to be there for her daughter throughout her life.
