We just posted a new article on our blog where we talk about the most difficult and demanding aspects of the first year with Alexei. We ignorantly said that we don’t need to know all these things but in the end, we realized that it would have been better to be more prepared as we would have avoided so many panics and so much stress. We now consider that everything that we have written in there is absolutely essential to know BEFORE GIVING BIRTH. Just to know that all those things exist and happen, not more than that :) The entire structure of this article is based on the parenting books that have been launched on 1st of June by @catena.ro and we truly hope that you will find this useful! #prinlumecom #catenaprinlume #carticicamamasicopilul #farmaciacatena #mamasicopilul #catena #1iunie
Two years ago I was positive that I don’t want to have children. After a miscarriage, I realised how reckless I was to even think such an absurdity. After having Alexei, I was complaining a lot and barely coping with postpartum depression. At that time I said that I don’t want other babies as I am not a good mother. Now, Alexei is one year old and I miss being pregnant. I miss having another tiny human :) It’s so weird how things change once we become parents :) #prinlumecom
We’re not at the beach this weekend but we’re somewhere even better than that: HOME :) Just chilling, meeting with our friends and family and resting :) Can’t believe I’m actually saying this but it feels good to do nothing :) #prinlumecom
As weird as it might sound, I bought this set of balls today just because they were matching Alexei’s outfit. As Andrei would say, we would probably be millionaires if I wouldn’t spend so much money on unnecessary shopping :D #prinlumecom
While we’ve been in Bucovina we wanted to spend as much time as possible in nature. Someone from the village where we were staying told us to go to Calimani National Park as it is amazingly beautiful. And it really was! #prinlumecom #prinlumeinbucovina #bucovina
This was the third night in a row with more than 7 awakenings during the night. Probably the one year sleep regression. But even though I feel tired, I just can’t complain. Everything seems so much easier to handle now, I am still not sure if it’s just the fact that I got used with all the difficult periods (and with sleeping way less than before!) or it might be the simple fact that I see everything in a whole different light now. I have more patience, for sure. And Alexei’s behavior is more predictable, which truly helps a lot. So yup, even though there are still difficult situations to handle, it is somehow easier now. Much easier. #prinlumecom
Who needs Provence when we have this gorgeous lavender field in Romania? :) #prinlumecom #designeriromaniprinlume #alexandracasprufprinlume
It’s just a matter of days until Alexei will start walking by himself but somehow (it will sound really odd :D) we want to postpone this moment :) Not because we’re afraid that we will have to be even more careful around him, but because walking seems so... “toddlerish” :) And we still want to believe that he’s a tiny baby that needs our help :) Yup, it totally sounds weird :)))) So cutie pie, just wait a little longer :) Let us get used with the idea that you’re no longer a baby :) #prinlumecom #andreeavelicanprinlume @newbornportraiture_a.velican
We posted many other photographs taken by @newbornportraiture_a.velican in our stories, hope you will like them! We are so happy about these photos and for the first time we will frame some of them and place them in our apartment! Thank you Andreea for creating us such amazing memories! Can’t wait for our next photoshoot together! 🤗 #prinlumecom #andreeavelicanprinlume @newbornportraiture_a.velican #alexandracasprufprinlume
What is a Milk Bath? Well actually it is exactly what is seems: a bath in milk 🙂 Andreea carefully places some slices of orange and lemon or different types of flowers in a small wash bowl with hot water, depending on what inspires her in the day of the shooting. This type of photographs are typical for her and she manages to capture the intimate relationship between the mother and the baby through them, with all their natural reactions, full of emotions. We loved this idea and it simply melted our hearts when we saw Alexei reaching his hands over the bowl to get the flowers from the water and to hand them to us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do a proper bath as Alexei was afraid of the water from the bowl and even though he was keeping his feet inside, he wanted me close to him, to hold him in my arms and to cuddle him. But even so, the photographs were lovely, they were honest and… so typical to us. Because in the end, that’s exactly how a bath looks for us every single evening 🙂 Always fearful, searching my arms 🙂 #prinlumecom #andreeavelicanprinlume #andreeavelican @newbornportraiture_a.velican
We take thousands of photographs because we want to have memories. We want to remember everything about our time spent with our #littleciuf, we want to cry whenever we see an old picture of him in the first few days of life and we want to make a pack of printed photographs, neglectfully bundled with rope and then place them in a wooden box so that we can give him as a present when he will turn 18 years old. We’re mad about photographs because that’s the only way we can re-live the past. Yup, we’re that type of persons that enjoy remembering. Having a glass of wine on the balcony, laughing and remembering everything we’ve been through. So Alexei’s first anniversary was a very good reason to make a proper family photoshoot. We didn’t want a classical photoshoot, with all kind of funny props and costumes. We just wanted something intimate and cosy, with no perfect angles, no perfect smiles, no perfect silhouettes. If Alexei wanted to cry, so be it. If he wanted to laugh when I was holding him in my arms, so be it! If he didn’t want to take the bath (it was actually a Milk Bath session :D), not a problem! We just enjoyed the way we were in that particular day, with nothing special prepared. And the right person to capture all these in a beautiful light was Andreea Velican from @newbornportraiture_a.velican . She is so talented and kind and we totally recommend her for any maternity or newborn photoshoots! And we do hope that our next postings (as there will be quite a lot of them :D) will convince you! #prinlumecom #andreeavelicanprinlume #andreeavelican
Acum ceva vreme scriam despre Islanda in suplimentul de travel al celor de la @elleromania . Acum visam cu ochii deschisi la minunatiile vazute in Islanda, la peisajele fascinante si la linistea atat de caracteristica. Si ne intrebam noi oare... mai e Islanda pustie si singuratica si fara turistii care sa o ia cu asalt, asa cum am vazut-o noi acum trei ani? :) #prinlumecom
We’re back in town (after a terrible 12hours drive back home, long live our fabulous roads!) and we feel like literally dyyyying on this heat! Missing already those chilly afternoons in Vatra Dornei :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeinbucovina #bucovina
The moon rises #prinlumecom #prinlumeinbucovina #bucovina
This is our last day in Bucovina :) It was a relaxing trip, we’ve seen many beautiful places, we’ve spent time with our friends, we ate a lot, we took pictures and had a great time. Slow travelling is definitely not that bad as we thought before having Alexei :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeinbucovina #bucovina #designeriromaniprinlume #alexandracasprufprinlume
