Nest-building mood, baby-waiting mode

Even though there are still a few weeks to go until our little bundle arrives, rummaging through the baby things is already starting to feel absolutely necessary on some deep, inner level. The boys just laugh when they see me ironing tiny little socks or rearranging the wardrobe filled with palm-sized clothes, but what can I say: the only time I feel at peace is when I potter around a bit each day among all those soft little things. There are still a few gaps in the interior, but with a few clothes and various textiles I’ve at least been able to start organising the dresser, for example.

If some other soon-to-be, or (like me) once-again baby mama is reading this, then hello to you! I’m all fidgety with excitement already too :))

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!
