This photo was taken a few years ago. Not so many things changed since then (except of being new mum), and that's the worst part. Stagnation is such a silent killer; it keeps you stuck, unmotivated, depressed, angry, There's no new energy, no freedom, no flow. I was never afraid of the changes, especially big ones. Yet somehow during the last decade I was stagnating, sadly. Every time I stagnate it means I subconsciously want to fit in... I no longer want to fit in. In any way. New decade started with one big change... and that's the beginning of a new cycle... cycle of flow, cycle of freedom!
2020 is going to be all about feeling ALIVE and FREE! That’s my personal aim, that’s how I want to feel this year. I want to build a lifestyle that supports those feelings, by tweaking some small things each day, step by step. It all starts from the inside...

Uvodna slika je nastala pre par godina. Malo stvari se promenilo od tada (izuzev sto sam postala mama), i to je "najgori" deo. Stagnacija je tihi ubica; cini da se osecamo zarobljeni, nemotivisani, depresivni, besni. Ne postoji nova energija, sloboda, protok. Ja se nikad nisam plasila promena, narocito ne velikih. Ali nekako tokom prethodne decenije pocela sam da stagniram, na svu zalost. Svaki put kada stagniram to znaci da podsvesno zelim da se "uklopim"... Sto vise ne zelim. Ni na koji nacin. Nova decenija je pocela sa jednom velikom promenom… I to je pocetak novog ciklusa… ciklusa protoka, ciklusa slobode!
Fokus 2020-te godine je na osecaju ZIVOSTI i SLOBODE! To je moj licni cilj, tako zelim da se osecam u ovoj godini. Zelim da izgradim stil zivota koji podrzava ova osecanja, menjanjem nekih malih stvari svakodnevno, korak po korak. Sve pocinje iznutra...

How many diapers does a newborn need (0-3 months)? Read here!
Koliko pelena treba novorodjencetu (0-3 meseca)? Procitajte ovde!
Post a Comment
How many diapers does a newborn need? That's the exact question I googled while I was pregnant. And I got no clear answer. Which pissed me off. But it also made me super ready to start to count how many diapers my baby needs so I can (maybe) help someone who seeks the same answer.
Why I even wanted to know "how many diapers a newborn needs"? Because I wanted to be prepared, at least for the beginning so I don't have to think about diapers. New mom's brain is like "scrambled eggs" sometimes, especially if you have no help (which happens to be my case). So any kind of preparation for the first baby saves you not only time but it also reduces the amount of stress which you're gonna definitely have each day. Also every month here at Greek supermarkets they have discounts for some kind of diapers. Since, as a new parent, you're going to give a small fortune on diapers, why not save some bucks if you can?
Koliko pelena treba novorodjencetu? Tacno to pitanje sam ukucala u Google pretragu dok sam bila trudna. I naravno nisam dobila precizan odgovor. Sto me je izivciralo. Ali u isto vreme i ucinilo spremnom da pocnem sama da brojim koliko pelena treba mojoj bebi, ne bih li mozda pomogla nekom ko trazi isti odgovor.
Zasto sam uopste htela sa saznam odgovor na pitanje "koliko pelena treba novorodjencetu"? Zato sto sam zelela da budem pripremljena, barem na pocetku, da ne moram da mislim na pelene. Mozak nove mame je kao "kajgana" ponekad, narocito ako nemate pomoc sa strane (sto se zadesilo da bude moj slucaj). Tako da bilo koja vrsta pripreme za prvu bebu ne pomaze samo kod ustede vremena vec i smanjenja stresa sto je neizbezni propratni detalj svakodnevnice. Takodje ovde u Grckoj svakog meseca u supermarketima imaju neke pelene na snizenju. S obzirom da cete kao novi roditelj dati malo bogatstvo na pelene, zasto ne ustediti neki dinar (za dodatne sitnice) ako vec mozete?
I started buying diapers when I was 5 months pregnant. Not in huge quantities, but each month I bought a few packs. In different sizes, from size 1 until size 4. Most of the diapers are/were Pampers "Premium care" line. I also took regular Pampers, and diapers from Greek brands Babylino and Agnotis. Of course I had to buy few packs more, but not in the rush, what I had was absolutely perfect as a base.
Here's the breakdown of the exact amount of diapers I used for my baby, from the 4th day when we got home from the hospital until the day he was 3 months old. For the reference, my boy was born 52cm and 3.450gr, which was average baby size, yet he grew quite fast over the next two months. One month old he was 58cm and 3.700gr, 2 months old 60cm and 5.900gr, and 3 months old 63.5cm and 6.700gr.
Pocela sam da kupujem pelene kad sam bila 5 meseci trudna. Ne u velikim kolicinama, ali svakog meseca sam kupovala po par pakovanja. U razlicitim velicinama, od velicine 1 do velicine 4. Vecina pelena je bila Pampers "Premium care" linija. Uzela sam i regularne Pampers pelene, kao i pelene grckih brendova Babylino i Agnotis. Naravno da sam morala da dokupim par pakovanja (ne u zurbi), ali ono sto sam imala je bila apsolutno savrsena baza.
Evo pregleda tacne kolicine pelena koje je moja beba iskoristila, od cetvrtog dana kada smo dosli kuci iz porodilista pa sve do dana kada je napunio 3 meseca. Radi poredjenja, moj decko je rodjen tezak 3.450gr i dug 52cm, sto je osrednja velicina bebe, ali je u naredna dva meseca poprilicno porastao. Mesec dana star bio je 58cm i 3.700gr, 2 meseca star 60cm i 5.900gr, 3 meseca star 63.5cm i 6.700gr.
So how many diapers exactly my baby boy needed during the first 3 months? 620! 288 diapers size 1, 206 diapers size 2 and 126 diapers size 3 (check the graphics above for details).
Keep in mind that there are some diapers which you can use in between, depending from the brand. For example before passing on Pampers "Premium care" size 2 (4-9kg) I used Babylino diapers size 2 which is for 3-6kg.
Of course, it all depends from case to case. Some baby will pee and poop more, some less; some baby will poop as soon as you change the diaper... In general they say you need around 8 diapers per day, but I never rely on general opinion, nor you should. Each baby is a story for itself...
There you have, I hope I helped someone with this post and specific answer. If there's something else connected to motherhood you would like to know/read, feel free to contact me...
Dakle koliko je mojoj bebi trebalo pelena tokom prva tri meseca? 620! 288 pelena velicine broj 1, 206 pelena velicine broj 2 i 126 pelena velicine broj 3 (pogledajte graficki pregled na slici iznad za detalje).
Imajte na umu da neke pelene mozete da koristite tokom prelaska sa velicine na velicinu, u zavisnosti od brenda. Na primer, pre prelaska na Pampers "Premium care" broj 2 za 4-9kg, ja sam koristila Babylino pelene broj 2 za 3-6kg.
Naravno da broj pelena zavisi od bebe do bebe. Neka beba vise piski i kaki, neka manje; neka beba ce se ukakiti cim joj promenite pelenu… Generalno kazu da je oko 8 pelena dnevno prosecan broj, ali ja se licno nikad ne oslanjam na generalno misljenje, nemojte ni vi. Svaka beba je prica za sebe...
Eto nadam se da su ovaj post i konkretan odgovor bili nekom od pomoc. Ako postoji jos nesto vezano za majcinstvo sto biste zeleli da znate/procitate, slobodno me kontaktirajte...
Happy New 2020! May it brings us health, peace, joy and fulfilment. May it brings us new life energy and fresh perspectives, inspiration and clarification. May we move forward, leave behind everything that wasn't functioning and embrace new paths and new ways. May we be more grateful, more mindful and present. May we forget the scarcity mindset and accept the abundance that was meant for each one of us. May we drop all masks and contribute by fully being who we truly are. We entered new year, new decade. It's a perfect time for a fresh start, if you feel like it. I know I am, like never before...
Srecna Nova 2020-ta! Neka nam donese zdravlje, mir, radost i ispunjenost. Neka donese novu zivotnu energiju i sveze perspektive, inspiraciju i klarifikaciju. Neka krenemo napred, ostavimo iza sebe sve ono sto nije funkcionisalo i prigrlimo nove staze i nove nacine. Neka budemo malo vise zahvalni, svesniji i prisutniji. Neka zaboravimo nacin razmisljanja koji se bazira na oskudici i prihvatimo izobilje koje je namenjeno svakom od nas. Neka spadnu maske a mi doprinesemo tako sto cemo u potpunosti biti ono sto zaista jesmo. Usli smo u novu godinu, novu deceniju. Savrsen je trenutak za svez start, ako se tako osecate. Ja sam spremna za to, kao nikad ranije...

We made our first trip together as a family and passed 2000km with the car!:D
Prvi put smo putovali zajedno kao porodica i presli 2000km kolima!:D
Here I am, in the living room, sitting in my night robe, writing these lines. It's cold and depressively dark outside, yucky. Almost 9am, I'm awake from 5am (that's regular now), drank my cup of morning coffee long time ago. Next to me (in a carry cot) is my baby boy, he is sleeping and kicking his legs while making some strange noises (we have tummy issues). I don't even think about how fast this year passed, I'm so bored to do the same each year. The time flies, that's constant, it's useless to philosophize "wow when that happened?". It's smarter to be conscious of each moment and present, not to run around like "fly without head" and to take out the most from each day...
I might share my view on 2019 another time, but now I'm sharing some recent photos. For more details, as always, visit my Instagram...
Evo me sedim u spavacici za stolom i pisem ove redove, napolju hladno i depresivno mracno, bljak. Jos malo pa 09h ujutru, ja budna od 05h (to je vec regularno), jutarnju kafu odavno popila. Pored mene (u kolicima za setnju) lezi moj deckic, malo spava malo je nemiran pa se rinta (boli nas tiba)… Ja ni ne razmisljam kako je i ova godina proletela, dosadno mi svake godine isto da radim. Vreme leti pa leti, to je konstanta, dzaba ja da filozofiram "uh pa kad prodje 2019-ta?". Pametnije je da sam svesna svakog trenutka i prisutna, da ne jurim "k'o muva bez glave" i da izvucem iz svakog dana najvise…
Osvrt na 2019-tu cu mozda podeliti neki drugi put, a sada delim neke nedavne slike. Za vise detalja, kao i uvek, mozete pogledati moj Instagram nalog...

our first contact, our first photo
nas prvi kontakt, nasa prva slika
October 17th, Thursday. I was pregnant 40 weeks, the possible birth date was 2 days before (October 15th). That day I had an appointment at my doctor. Since everything was fine, baby's head still low, we decided not to wait anymore and to do induced labor the next day. I was supposed to be in the hospital at 7am.
After the appointment I went home, took a long shower, checked my bags, put the suitcase next to the door and went to bed (early like a chicken) before 10pm. Around midnight pain in the lower part of the belly woke me up. Nothing serious, I said to myself, as that already happened once when my doctor (I like to say "manually") checked me. So I tried to sleep, thinking the pain will stop eventually, yet it only became more regular. Until 1am when my water broke. Now that's a super funny feeling, when you walk around the house wetting the carpets and tiles (now is the moment to remember how you blame your dog when he does peepee at home).
17-ti oktobar, cetvrtak. Bila sam trudna 40 nedelja, 2 dana sam presla termin (15-ti oktobar). Toga dana sam imala zakazan pregled kod mog doktora. S obzirom da je sve bilo ok, bebina glava i dalje nisko, odlucili smo da ne cekamo vise i da narednog dana putem indukovanog porodjaja (tj. izazvanim kontrakcijama) zapocnemo novu zivotnu fazu. Trebalo je da budem u bolnici u 7 ujutru.
Nakon pregleda sam otisla kuci, istusirala se, proverila sve stvari, stavila kofer pored vrata i otisla ranije da spavam, kao pilence pre 22h. Negde oko 00h probudila sam se od bolova u stomaku. Nista strasno, pomislila sam, vec mi se jednom desilo kad me je doktor (sto bih ja rekla "rucno") pregledao. Probala sam da spavam, misleci da ce bolovi prestati, ali su samo postali redovniji. Sve do 01h kad mi je pukao vodenjak. E to je super cudan osecaj, kad hodas po kuci i kvasis tepihe i plocice (sad je trenutak da se setis kad grdis psa ako se popiski u kuci).
To make story shorter, until 2am we were in the hospital (which is 40min drive from home). Since the pain didn't stop, they immediately put me in the room where I was supposed to give a birth, and changed my clothes while waiting for my doctor and midwife to come. The pain was stronger, that much that I was waiting in the bathroom for a few minutes for the wave of pain to pass so I can come out. Nurses checked me how much I was open, and called anaesthetist to give me the epidural. Now we waited 10-15 minutes for it to work. I started to feel its effect, everywhere except in the lower left part of belly, the pain there was as intense as before.
My doctor arrived (finally one familiar face), he saw I was still in pain and requested additional dose of epidural. Again "needle poking" along my spine. I remember only that anaesthetist said she had another case like this where the baby was low on the left side and epidural didn't have full effect. Anyway the pain finally stopped, but now I couldn't feel or move my legs (here's a strange feeling number two, you really feel helpless). So we had to wait a bit for its effect to subdue...
Da ne sirim pricu ovde, do 02h smo bili u bolnici (inace udaljena 40min voznje). S obzirom da bolovi nisu stajali od ponoci, odmah sam presla u sobu gde je trebalo da se porodim, i presvukla se dok sam cekala mog doktora i babicu da stignu. Bolovi su postali sve jaci, toliko da sam cekala u wc-u nekoliko minuta da prodje talas bola da bih izasla. Medicinske sestre su me pregledale koliko sam bila otvorena, i pozvale anesteziologa da mi da epiduralnu. Sad je trebalo sacekati nekih 10-15 minuta da krene da deluje. I krenulo je da deluje, svuda izuzev sa leve strane donjeg dela stomaka, tu su bolovi bili istog intenziteta kao i ranije.
Moj doktor je stigao (konacno jedno meni poznato lice!), video je da i dalje imam bolove, te zatrazio dodatnu dozu epiduralne da se ne mucim. Onda je opet usledilo bockanje iglom duz kicme. Secam se samo da je anesteziolog rekla da je imala jos jedan slucaj kada je beba bila nisko sa leve strane i epiduralna nije zahvatila dobro. Elem konacno su bolovi stali, ali nisam osecala telo od struka pa nadole, noge uopste nisam mogla da pomerim (evo ga cudan osecaj broj dva, tad se stvarno osecas nemocno). E sad je trebalo cekati da dejstvo malo prodje pa da nastavimo...
This was all happening until 6am. I basically kicked George out of the room at some point 'cause I wanted to bite from the pain and couldn't focus properly on pushing. Unfortunately we all thought we would finish by 5am, as everything was happening fast and the way it's supposed to be, but the epidural blocked me. Somewhere around 6am the effect of epidural started to fade, I felt my body and I could move my legs again. But I also felt each contraction and greater intensity of the pain. I was left alone with my midwife in a room with dimmed lights. Here comes the hard part, contractions and pushing. I pushed really hard (thank you my abs and core!) for about an hour but I couldn't pass the certain point. The baby took a position where he couldn't easily enter the birth canal. A couple of times I seriously thought I would faint from pain, but I didn't say a word nor complained, I was silent.
The nurses entered room around 8am bringing necessary things and instruments, now I barely understood what was going on. I know that my doctor sat down in front of my (sorry but wide open) legs, opened/cut me a bit (which I didn't realize until later when he started to put stitches). The only thing I do remember clearly is the last contraction. There were two moments: the first one where I felt huge pain in my upper part of belly like something moved, and another moment when something "slipped" out of me. That was my baby with loooong umbilical cord. He came into this world on Friday, October 18th, at 8:15 am (8:20 according to George), 52cm long and weighted 3.450gr. He cried only once, just to show us he arrived...
Ovo se sve do nekih 06h desavalo. Ja sam Jorgosa izbacila iz sobe malo ranije, jer sam od bolova htela da ujedam i nisam mogla da se skoncentrisem na napone i guranje. Na zalost svi smo mislili da cemo do 05h zavrsiti jer je sve islo ubrzanim tempom i kako treba, ali me je epiduralna zablokirala. Od 06h je krenuo brzo da jenjava njen uticaj, osecala sam telo ponovo, mogla sam da pomeram noge. Ali sam osetila i svaku kontrakciju i sve jaci intenzitet bola. Ostala sam sama u zamracenoj sobi sa mojom babicom. Krenuo je tezak deo, naponi i guranje. Gurala sam jako (hvala moji trbusnim misicima) nekih sat vremena ali nisam mogla da predjem odredjeni deo. Beba je zauzela polozaj gde nije mogla da udje u kanal. Par puta sam pomislila sam da cu se onesvestiti od bolova, mada ni "a" nisam rekla niti sam se zalila, cutala sam.
Sestre su oko 08h usle u sobu sa neophodnim stvarima i instrumentima, sad vec nisam kapirala sta se sve desava. Znam da je moj doktor seo ispred mojih (izvinjavam se, sirom otvorenih) nogu, otvorio/secnuo me malo da mi olaksa (sto sam tek kasnije ukapirala kad je krenuo da me zasiva). Jedino cega se jasno secam je poslednja kontrakcija. Postojala su dva trenutka: prvi gde sam osetila ogroman bol u gornjem delu stomaka i kao da se nesto pomerilo, i drugi trenutak kada je nesto "iskliznulo" iz mene. To nesto je bila moja beba, sa duuuuugom pupcanom vrpcom. Dosao je na svet u petak, 18-ti oktobar, u 8:15 (8:20 prema Jorgosu), dug 52cm i tezak 3.450g. Samo jednom je zaplakao, eto cisto da nam da do znanja da je stigao.
Later I learned from George who was outside of the room but saw everything (useless to kick him out, lol) that the baby came out turned on the side, probably that's why we struggled a bit. The nurses cut the cord, wrapped him in a towel and handed me this sweet little bundle (he was soooo calm). They left me to hold him for 3-4 minutes before they took him for a check-up, bathing, wrapping...
In the room I gave birth I stayed for another 2-3 hours. They brought me baby one more time, this time left him a bit more to sleep on my chest (back then he learned where is the most comforting to sleep, that's his fav place even now). They took him back so we can both be moved to another part of the hospital where all other babies and mamas are... there starts the postpartum recovery which is a subject for another day...
My baby boy is one month old now (no need to say I have no idea when that happened)! That's why I thought it's a nice opportunity to share my birth story, for those who are curious how everything went... Wasn't easy, it was really painfull, but I was never the one to complain on the pain nor I said at some point "I will never do this again!". It's all part of the life, it's called the experience, it helps you grow as a person. That day my perspective and point of view for many things changed dramatically. I saw one more time how strong I am (don't speak about physical aspect). But we're gonna leave that as well for another post...;)
Kasnije sam saznala od Jorgosa koji je bio van sobe ali je sve video (ja ga dzabe izbacila, haha) da je beba izasla okrenuta na stranu, verovatno je zbog toga malo otezano bilo. Sestre su isekle vrpcu, uvile ga u peskir i predale mi taj mali slatki zavezljaj (kako je samo miran bio)… Ostavile su mi da ga drzim kratko pre nego sto su ga uzele da bi proverile sve detaljno, izmerile ga, okupale, uvile...
U sobi gde sam se porodila ostala sam jos 2-3 sata. Doneli su mi bebu jos jednom i ostavili da spava na meni (tad je naucio gde je najlepse spavati, to mu je omiljeno mesto i sad). Nakon toga su ga ponovo uzeli da bi i mene i njega prebacili na odeljenje gde su sve ostale bebe i mame… tu krece deo price o oporavku koji ostavljam za drugi put...
Moj deckic je sada star mesec dana (bespotrebno je reci da nisam ukapirala kad je vreme proletelo)! Zato sam i zelela da podelim moju pricu o porodjaju, za sve one koji su radoznali da cuju/procitaju kako je sve islo... Nije bilo lako, bilo je zaista bolno, ali nikad nisam bila osoba koja se zali na bol niti sam u nekom trenutku rekla "Nikad vise ovo necu uraditi!". Sve je to deo zivota, to se zove iskustvo, sa tim rastes kao osoba. Tog dana moja perspektiva i pogled na svet za mnoge stvari su se drasticno promenili. Jos jednom sam videla koliko sam zapravo jaka (i ne pricam samo za fizicki aspekt). Ali i to cemo ostaviti za neki drugi post...;)
