Countdown… Week 38! – Baby Room Edition
Oh my goodness, next weekend this little human will already be an official member of our family! It’s unbelievable how much impact he already has on us and how much he’s brought us together 🙂 Honestly, I don’t think he’ll wait until next week to be born, but while Rú is spending his ski break in Hungary, I’m trying to hold my breath and not think about labor starting, so he won’t miss meeting his brother. I’m really trying, truly…
The nursery is battle-ready, though there are still some missing items that I can only set up weeks after the “move-in,” since they come from the Vác storage only when the baby visits. Until then, it’s in a newborn-appropriate state, lovingly arranged and waiting for its resident—this cozy nook where the boys and I sometimes just sit to chat, look at old baby photos of Rú, or in my case: unpack and repack baby stuff, hospital bags, or simply sit for a bit and feel that in just a few days this room won’t be empty anymore ♥
I also added a mini beginner wardrobe video here from week 36, when I wasn’t yet in my constant packing and repacking phase (now those baby clothes are washed, ironed, and refolded for the seventh time, resting in the hospital baby bag… until I take them out and rearrange them again!)
P.S.: I made the bunting flags under the banners from leftover baby blanket fabric, which is why the design might look a bit ‘rustic’!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Later, I took on a new role at the Department of Health within the Ministry of Interior, continuing my journey in the healthcare field from a different perspective. Life has also grown in beautiful new ways: a wonderful partner has brought fresh energy and warmth into what was once just me and Rú—now we’re a family of three. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
